Hotkey to trigger auto complete pop-up extension  #92

Closed nausher closed 7 months ago

nausher commented 8 months ago

Currently the pop-up is triggered solely based on the number of letters typed. Can an option be provided for a hotkey that triggers auto-completion? 

The auto-completion need not be triggered until the user presses the specific hot-key? E.g. option + .  can be used to trigger the auto-complexity.  This will help from having the extension getting in the way. and can also help improve performance by not making as many calls to the service.

I'll take a look into that, but there's no timeline for implementing this feature.

This will be included in next version, pop-up can be triggered by key shortcut. Extension can also be set to work only in manual trigger mode by using -1 as minimum word length

This setting determines the minimum word length required to trigger the prediction feature. If set to '0', predictions will appear after a whitespace. If set to '-1', predictions must be triggered manually using a key shortcut. Default shortcut: Ctrl+Period. To change, consult your browser's help section (Firefox, Chrome). Please note that some key combinations may not work.
