Is there a way to control the position or appearance of an autocomplete popup? I've noticed that autocompletion in Xcode does the right thing - is anyone able to suggest how this could be achieved?
IMHO, the default text completion list is uncommonly ugly. Here's one approach:
1. In your NSTextView subclass, override complete:. Get the array of hits using completionsForPartialWordRange:indexOfSelectedItem:.
2. Filter that list. I don't need the list to contain the word I've alrready typed, nor a bunch of words with apostrophe-s appended. Also limit the number of hits to a reasonable amount.
3. Put the filtered list in a popup button and draw it.
