Autocompletion doesn't work when the word starts with a square bracket [
see https://www.autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?p=348324#p348324

use case

I'm trying to autocomplete strings beginning with double square brackets like [[link1]] (markdown links in notetaking apps)

steps to reproduce :

remove [] from the list of terminating characters

  • learn or add [test] or [[test]] to a wordlist.txt

other notes :

  • everything works with other special characters like <, (, {, $ : autocomplete works for <test> or (test) but it doesn't work with [test]
  • brackets work as long as they are not at the start : test[brackets] is recognized when you type tes, BUT the word disappears as soon as you type [ (eg. test[ will make the popup disappear)
  • apparently the problem is related to sqlite special characters. it works with TypingAid 1.9.8

system info

ahk 1.1.33.02 x64 unicode / TypingAid v2.22.0 / win10 LTSC 1809

thanks for the great script!
