Request for auto suggest words feature and option to save custom strings that can be used later using auto suggestion #86

Codeboard is an excellent app for editing code and even for usual social media chatting scenarios. If this app has auto suggest and auto complete feature, the app become usable for all purposes as a daily driver app. What I meant was, when we type a word or function name like strlen or strncmp, if there is an option to save this to a database and when the word is typed again auto suggest feature shows that word it will be helpful.

I know there is not enough space on the top bar or row in codeboard. If that the reason I suggest adding an extra key to switch or toggle top row b/w desired mode that are, auto suggestions and ESC TAB arrow key row. This is a suggestion because such a great open source project like this should be enriched with more features. Hope you will consider this suggestion. Thanks in advance.

This sounds like a great feature to have! Sounds like code completion support baked directly into the keyboard. I like the idea of having a key for this instead of using up a whole row. A row is a lot of space and we need to make sure we put the space to the best possible use.

https://github.com/gazlaws-dev/codeboard/issues/40 is related. I'd like to see the existing code snippets use this same system.

Look, that's the only one feature this awesome project lack. You developers should look in to it. Once did that, the same app can be used for coding as well as normal texting.
