I think CP is a cool feature, but in the default settings, CP will give a p= review even if I have already typed out something that matches, and I find = that unnecessarily and frequently distracting. For example, if I type "(map= c", it will give a preview for "(mapcan". Ideally what I'd like is if the current word already matches something, the= n there is no preview given. I set "Completion Preview Exact Match Only" to "on" and that gives me prett= y much what I want, since that eliminates the distracting extra previews. A= trade off is I don't get any previews for "possible" matches, which could = potentionally be useful. I could I suppose also use an Idle Delay, but personally I hate introducing= extra pauses like that into my workflow. --=20 =F0=9F=93=9B Christopher Howard =F0=9F=9A=80 gemini://gem.librehacker.com =F0=9F=8C=90 http://gem.librehacker.com =D7=91=D7=A8=D7=90=D7=A9=D7=99=D7=AA =D7=91=D7=A8=D7=90 =D7=90=D7=9C=D7=94= =D7=99=D7=9D =D7=90=D7=AA =D7=94=D7=A9=D7=9E=D7=99=D7=9D =D7=95=D7=90=D7=AA= =D7=94=D7=90=D7=A8=D7=A5
