I give some additional information. If I input "RIGHT" I do get the completion. > But what if I want names with "RIGHT" in the middle of a name? Type *RIGHT Note the asterisk. P.S. Do you ever try to read the documentation of the features you ask about, before you ask? Or do you expect others to spell it out for you? Because everything you ask for is in the documentation. For example, this last question's answer is right there in the doc string: You can type a few of the first letters of the Unicode name and use completion. If you type a substring of the Unicode name preceded by an asterisk ‘*’ and use completion, it will show all the characters whose names include that substring, not necessarily at the beginning of the name.
