I just installed icicles with emacs, and so far I am liking it a lot. I'm not entirely sure if this is possible, but I would like to implement (or use, if it already exists) a feature in icicles that would auto-complete words from an English dictionary.
So, if I'm writing something and need a word that rhymes with floor
, I can type in *or
, or even better, for alliteration, type in flo*
and have it return all the words from the dictionary that start with flo
Questions:
Does something like this exist?
If it does not exist, what would be the best way to go about this? Should I somehow hook into aspell? Or just index a long file of words?
