[1.34] Completion Cosmetics
 
It would be very nice if the completion control that pops up when typing put the symbol of what you were completing in front. Rather than just the name of the item, the initial symbol will aid with rapid identification.

When completing a variable, put the @ in front. Completing a command, put # in front. Completing a function, put % in front.

This isn't a high priority request, just an annoyance. I don't recognize the things I'm completing, because the symbol in front is part of my recognition... stripped of it, it's as hard for me to recognize a symbol as it is for you to recognize someone's face if they shave their hair off.

I understand the difficulty. I'm using an existing feature within the Scintilla editor control, so I'm somewhat limited by how it works. I'm still learning some of the tricks for making it do what I want. So I might be able to improve it in the future, but nothing soon, sorry.
