I Contributed To An Open-Source Editor, And So Can You

A few months ago, Jason Grigsbys post about autocompletion in forms made the rounds. I loved the idea of allowing users to fill in their credit card details by taking a picture of their card. What I didnt love was learning all of the possible values for autofill by heart. Im getting lazy in my old age.

Lately, Ive gotten spoiled from using an editor that does intelligent autocompletion for me, something that in the past only massive complex IDEs offered. Opening my editor of choice, I created an input element and added an autocomplete attribute, only to find that the code completion offered me the state of on or off. Disappointing.
