Autocompletion for Etherpad
It’s alpha-ish, but works. Please contribute and/or file bugs.
Customization
In its preconfigured form it completes words (searches the document for words, suggests existing words if you type them again). This add-on will require configuration if you want it to autocomplete anything else.
See the value autocomp.config in the ep_autocomp/static/js/autocomp.js file
for customizing simple cases and the value autocomp.getPossibleSuggestions for more complex customizations.
Originally, this was written to autocomplete hashtags, you may want to complet from list of predefined keywords or from a hash of usernames after typing an @ etc. There are some examples in the sourcecode.
Install
Open terminal, navigate to your etherpad folder and: type npm install ep_autocomp OR type git clone https://github.com/jdittrich/ep_autocomp.git node_modules/ep_autocomp
