Autocomplete auto-popup

Does CudaText have a mode/plugin that supports this. So that the autocomplete appears while typing rather than having to press a key combo?

I used Option Editor plugin, typed "autocom" and found this option:

autocomplete_autoshow_chars
Auto-show auto-completion after typing N word-chars (0: disabled)
Option is for lexer-specific configs, not for user.json config.

I have the Atom Javascript snippets installed but when I type log, it shows in the autocomplete but hitting enter doesn't expand it to console.log(), it just types log();

"log()" is from auto-complete static file,
data/autocomplete/JavaScript.acp. So delete this file. Maybe I should delete it from distro? Is it needed?

And SNIPPET "console.log" must not be in autocomplete. It is snippet.

BTW, we have smart JS autocompletion in plugin JS Tern. It worked, but not much users use it.

I see, I thought autocomplete pulled from snippets as well, I didn't realise it was separate.

Snippets-plugin handles Tab key.. but auto-complete is Ctrl+Space.

EDIT
I will detete JS .acp file.
