I think there should an option to include all open files into word/code completion. It might be too slow for 100s of files but typical users have 10s of files open at most, and expect completion from all of them. Splitting so many files is not an option.

    I am also strongly voting for such functionality. It would also be greate if suggestions were sorted some way (preferably as Emacs does):
    1. First suggestions from current buffer sorted from words which are nearest before the caret.
    2. Then suggestions from other open files

    Perhaps this goes into the completion plugin?

    There is an option in Global Options > Text Area to search in all open buffers.
    See http://jedit.org/users-guide/words.html
    Sorting suggestions should be reopened as a separate ticket
