QTextEdit Completer

Caeden

I want to be able to have my QTextEdit autocomplete...

I have self.text_edit.textChanged.connect(self.on_text_change) where self.text_edit is an instance of QtWidgets.QTextEdit

def on_text_change(self):
        print("text changed")

How can I just make it automatically show the options ["a", "b", "c"] everytime a letter is pressed? This is a rough example, I would sort out the filtering which is the easy part but I'm not sure how to create the option to complete.

Normally QCompleter is used on a single-line QLineEdit. To get it to work on a Q[Plain]TextEdit you have to do some work.

Sorry, I'm still confused
