Js version of Inquirer had autocompletion type, it would be awesome if we had it on PyInquirer too

Cool

PyInquirer passes arguments to prompt-toolkit so you can already to this.

For example with an input type the following code questions = [ { 'type': 'input', 'name': 'things', 'message': 'Enter a thing', 'completer': MyCompleter() } ] answers = PyInquirer.prompt(questions)

will give you autocomplete for that field. See the documentation here for creating a custom completer which suits your needs. prompt-toolkit is one of the PyInquirer dependencies so you will already have it.

Would you please be so kind and show me a working example for type = list? I can't make it.

I'd love to have classic PyInquirer list with UP/DOWN moving caret. When I start typing, some of the options pops out.
