Hi chuchi!

You're right, that editor is quite nice. I'm currently writing on a more 
complex autocompletion plugin for gedit: an autocompletion for C 
functions. It parses the headers you include in your source recursively 
and keeps track of them - without much cpu load, of course. I plan to 
arrange this like an engine with exchangeable backends - each for one 
language. The C backend is almost complete. And I can take the LaTeX 
backend from my LaTeX plugin.

Compared to this, the word completion is quite a simple task ;) it'll 
form just another backend.

At the moment I'm occupied with my studies but I'm going to file the 
code under "AutoCompletionPlugin" at live.gnome.org in a few weeks or so.

Regards,
Michael
