Feature Request: "Smart" Auto-Complete

    Notepad++ is awesome. But it's missing a feature that great text editors should have.
    It would be wonderful if a "smart" auto-complete feature was implemented. We need an auto-complete that remembers what you've typed in previously while working with the file, and then automatically giving suggestions on what you might be trying to type, as you type. (People that have used ultra-edit will know what I'm talking about)
    For example, if you've typed the work "foobar" previously, then next time you are typing f-o-o-... and the a small suggestion box with "foobar" will appear beneath where you are typing. Hitting enter or whatever designated key should then automatically complete the word.
    With this feature notepad++ will become hands down the best text editor ever.

      Yes, could you implement this, please?

      hmm cool.. is there a way to make the box appear automatically while you type? (i.e. the effect of always pressing ctrl-shift-space, except if there is only one word just show but don't complete.)

      Ctrl - Shift - Space will do it.
