Autocompletion for generic words.

Describe the feature

I used atom in the past (till it got killed). And switched back to vim.
And with both editors I had the ability to auto complete generic words instead of only the things from an language server.

VIM (9.1.250 (+bunch of addons)):

Zed (0.139.3):

The goal of this is to lessen potential "retyping" typing errors.

I've searched the docs, tried different settings, searched here in the issues. But can't find anything that remotely resembles what VIM does for me.

That's an interesting use-case, I'm not sure I've seen an editor that does this. What extensions are you using to this now?

At a bare minimum to implement something like this we'd need to support language specific dictionaries (and likely custom dictionaries) for completion which might be available if we had some form of spell check. See:

• Spell Checking #5305

That's a good question. It is part of this stack: https://github.com/Siebjee/vimrc.

But! It's also VIM native (ctrl+n). I think either "youcompleteme" or "coc" is just presenting it in a nice way.

It's not a language server behind it. But rather a language server constructed of all words within the buffer or even all open buffers in VIM. So not a spell check. This way allows you to make the same typo constantly.

VSCode does this by default based on words in the currently open file.

Sorry about that! I didn't spot that issue. Thanks for referencing it.
