Feature request: Show also entries that start with typed letters #86

Closed dand751801 closed 9 months ago

Is it possible to show entries that start with typing, too, instead of just showing the direct matches?

For example: I created the following abbreviations: zw = zwischen zwi = Zwinglistr. zwi = Zwinglistraße

When I type "z" no suggestion appears at all (even though I set input length to 1 character). What did I wrong? When entering "zw" only "zwischen" is suggested, but not "Zwinglistr." and “Zwinglistrasse”. I think it would be great if all 3 options were displayed at "z" and "zw".

I'm using:

@dand751801 You are attempting to use the feature for purposes it was not designed for. This is a text expander meant to expand text into predefined phrases. There is no prediction or typo-fixing mode. The functionality you are seeking is addressed in issue https://github.com/bartekplus/FluentTyper/issues/70 , but there is no set timeline for its availability.

I don't think that's an abuse. (Btw: a very harsh word) I see it more as an unleashing of the power of this tool. 😄

If you have to make 100s of long entries, you will appreciate any kind of support. However, I have found a solution that meets my requirements exactly:

Review

For the following abbreviations (extracted from the exported JSV file)

btol,Betriebshof Tolkewitz
btol,Btf. Tolkewitz
btra,Betriebshof Trachenberge
btra,Btf. Trachenberge

I have defined a kind of synonyms:

bto,Betriebshof Tolkewitz
bto,Btf. Tolkewitz
btr,Betriebshof Trachenberge
btr,Btf. Trachenberge
bt,Betriebshof Tolkewitz
bt,Btf. Tolkewitz
bt,Betriebshof Trachenberge
bt,Btf. Trachenberge

Maybe also relevant for other peoples.

I am really very happy about this add-on. And I'm very pleased with how versatile it is.

Thank you! Happy coding!
