PyQt6 TextEdit with Autocompletion

A custom implementation of QTextEdit from PyQt6 that features an integrated autocompletion mechanism.

Features

• Autocompletion using QCompleter.
• Case-insensitive matching.
• Easy to extend and integrate into existing PyQt6 applications.

Prerequisites

• Make sure you have PyQt6 installed.

pip install pyqt6

Usage

To use the custom TextEdit in your PyQt6 application:

from TextEdit import TextEdit

Then, integrate TextEdit into your PyQt6 application as you would with any other widget.

Example

import sys
from PyQt6.QtWidgets import QApplication, QMainWindow, QCompleter, QVBoxLayout, QWidget

from TextEdit import TextEdit


class MainWindow(QMainWindow):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()

        layout = QVBoxLayout()

        # Sample word list for autocompletion:
        words = ["apple", "banana", "cherry", "date", "elderberry", "fig", "grape"]

        # Create a QCompleter object with the word list:
        completer = QCompleter(words)

        # Create TextEdit object and set the QCompleter:
        self.text_edit = TextEdit()
        self.text_edit.setCompleter(completer)
        
        layout.addWidget(self.text_edit)

        container = QWidget()
        container.setLayout(layout)
        self.setCentralWidget(container)
        
        self.setWindowTitle("TextEdit with Autocompletion")
        self.setGeometry(100, 100, 400, 200)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = QApplication(sys.argv)
    window = MainWindow()
    window.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec())
