Description lcapra 2012-11-07 08:02:03 UTC 
Hi,
this is an idea I'm thinking about from a while and I'm trying now to put here as a feature request.

Commonly I use the php autocompletion for Drupal CMS projects eg

content_ (ctrl+space) (shows about 100 suggestions)

would be nice to have some chance to filter out the suggestion view like 

content_ (ctrl+space)(ctrl+shift+space[?]) "item" (as search string)

Searching for non consecutive word in function or method names would result in a filtered view of the suggestions list (in the described case I think would be no more than 10 suggestions).

Thank you.

This RFE would also be useful for other non-PHP specific languages, so i moved the issue to editor|hints

General use case: (substring) filtering within the resultset of completion popup

Moved to editor|completion. It has nothing to do with hints IMHO.

This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue.

Thanks for your cooperation,
