Ability to make autocomplete case sensitive

[peterbe]

Perhaps this feature request already exists, but I can't find it.

I'd love if it possible to change my autocomplete to become case sensitive. Probably something that's pref'ed off by default.

When I type "Fo" and there is "foobar" and "Foodmixer" in the buffer I only want it to autocomplete suggest "Foodmixer".

I also want this feature. Case-insensitive autocomplete finds too many things.

+1 while coding, we must have options to controls what is display.

• "case ignore" boolean
• i can think about another... "force start with" boolean

[vemv]

+1

Fix is simple though: https://github.com/vemv/autocomplete/commit/cd69195f1f4666903e030ae35fac64d90aad9432

For the moment I'll be using my forked package, but I must say case-insensitive fuzzy completion is objectively bad.

I'll also give my +1 for allowing case-sensitive autocomplete, at least as an option. Too many times I'll try to autocomplete a certain word, only to find that its titleized version (which is also in the file) takes precedence over the word I really want.

Example:

For the moment, the Use Strict Matching For Built-In Provider-option helped.

[Edit] it's in the autocomplete-plus settings

@mjrk What is that? How do you enable that?

This repo is no longer maintained - Atom's autocomplete functionality is now provided by https://github.com/atom/autocomplete-plus

[kevinsawicki]

This package is deprecated and no longer shipped with Atom. If this is still an issue using the autocomplete-plus package, please open up a new issue on that repository, thanks.

Here's the same issue on the autocomplete-plus package.
