Feature Request: Ability to disable autocomplete #320

Description

Suggestion

Add either a simple on-off toggle to the Autocomplete feature, or else a modular one that allows for selective autocomplete of any of vocabulary, variables, and divert targets.

Access to the dictionary of words the project has built up - similar to how Openoffice handles it, allowing removal of individual entries and disabling of adding new words to the list - would be an even better feature, but I expect this would be harder to implement than simple category toggles.

Reasoning

  • Selective enable/disable of vocab, variables, and divert targets already possible via commenting out existing code, but not very user-friendly to do this method.
  • Current autocomplete semi-frequently has false positives on common words (screenshots 1 and 2)
  • Inclusion of a long string for whatever reason (dramatic effect of not using spaces, representation of encoded data, someone says the alphabet) then permanently becomes a false positive match for words (screenshot 3)
  • When typing a script quickly, hitting enter to create a new line and accidentally replacing the last word with a diferent one - most noticeable with # tags, but also possible if the writer isn't using punctuation at the end of a line - gets frustrating very quickly.
  • Also unsure how useful or not the Autocomplete feature is for non-english writers.
