Hello everyone,

I want to write a macro that does a simple autocomplete. It is a macro that I've had for nedit and I would like to get it working on jedit but I dont have too much experience with java so I wanted to ask for a starting point

Pretty much what I want to have is a macro that once executed, searches the buffer *backwards* starting from the current position. and replaces the current word with the first found result , once executed again, replace it with second results , and go on.

here is an example
string $variableA = "bla";
string $variableB = "blabla";
string $variableC = "blablabla";

string $var -> right when I type this , I'd like to execute this macro , and it would replace $var with $variableC , $variableB $variableA


I'm not asking someone to write this for me, I just wanted to know if there is something out there similar that you might have encountered , if not just some example of a macro that's similar to this would be great

Thanks in advance !!
