Description of the Change
I find the suggestion list in autocomplete+ distracting and wanted a mode that cycles through the suggestions without showing the list. I added a new setting called "Inline Mode" to the code that a user can activate to do just that: cycle through all suggestions by repeatedly pressing the autocomplete activation key.
Alternate Designs
This actually is an alternative design to the existing suggestion menu. It provides basically the same functionality as the existing plugin Atom Inline Autocomplete, but works within the autocomplete+ framework.
Benefits
Possible Drawbacks
Since it is an optional mode, I don't see any drawbacks.
Applicable Issues
–
I made this pull request to get feedback on the code. I expect there are more elegant ways to implement it, and I am not sure if it is compatible with all use-cases that autocomplete+ supports. After a code review, I plan to make improvements as requested and add test cases to the specs.
