[wingide-users] variable name completion

[Coyot Linden (Glenn Glazer) via wingide-users]

If I have two variables, say, fooBar and bazBar, and I start to change
one of the former to the latter by deleting 'foo' and starting to type
'baz', Wing suggests bazBar, which is right, but if I accept that, I get
'bazBarBar' - the suggestion is inserted before the rest of the variable
name.  Is there a way to get the completion to recognize whole word context?

Best,

coyot

The Editor > Auto-Completion > Completion Mode preference can be set to
Replace Any Existing Symbol or Replace Only Matching Symbols. The
latter is an attempt to addressing this exact case, although I find it
still eats more than I often want it to.
