No suggestions when next to character

[RaptorX]

Issue Type: Bug

Situation

Sometimes I typed a command and later I decide to wrap it with another command:

RegexReplace(var,"string") ; started with this and I decided to outputdebug it
Outputdebug RegexReplace(var,"string") ; like this

In other lexers I just simply press home, start typing and press Ctrl+Space to get suggestions. like this:

The above image is from the Autohotkey-Plus-Plus extension for v1

Result

I get no suggestions

I am forced to always type a space before getting suggestions.

Notes

This doesnt happen if I do the same but with symbols instead of word characters as shown here:

This is not a bug. The trigger mechanism of code snippets and completions is different. Code snippets can always trigger, but completion is not.

Currently, it can only be entered in . or # is forced to trigger completion, and it also is triggered when a word begins to be input. It is impossible to set every character as a trigger. After all, there are many characters that can be used as symbol names.

How can the other plugin do it then? is it using a different approach?

These plugins have code snippets for built-in functions, and you can try to reproduce using user-defined functions.

I get suggestions with user-defined functions and typing right next to a text character.

Sorry, I misunderstood, you meant CTRL+space to trigger

Yes, thats right. When typing right next to a word you can force suggestions by pressing CTRL + Space but your plugging returns nothing as shown in the OP.
