This creates difficulties in implementing, for example, a list of > comma separated email addresses in recipients column. > I suggest to modify the replacing methodology to allow additional parameter > of Index of the beginning word to input so that the SuggestionPopup will > replace from the beginning index to the current caret (text cursor) with user > selection. Additionally, allow not only TextInput but also TextArea to be > served with, which we can build a typing assistant like function. > The finding the beginning index is user code responsibility which opens up > the choice of usages, like email address assistant where ";" is the separator > and space as separator when general typing assistant. The user code just > need to use Java String Split to locate the closet word to the caret for > SuggestionPopup. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
