MentionSuggestions whitespace Regex filter issue

suppose you have a suggestion list like that

[
{ name: 'call 1' , value:1 },
{ name: 'call 2' , value:2 },
{ name: 'call 3' , value:3 }
]

if you type ‘@call 3’ at the editor it will not narrow the search to item call 3 , because the whitespace breaks it . instead it will give you all of them.

i’ve noticed also a sorting issue with suggestions when you search for something that contains A for example the suggestions that begins with A needs to be at the top of the list which is not the case. instead it gives you the the natural order of your current suggestions list.

now how i can modify the regex and the mentionSuggestionsStrategy to do so ?

@Revln9 there even was a PR for whitespace support at some point. Unfortunately it’s even more complicated as you need to limit the amount of spaces for the decorators. Even then you need to make sure there are no overlapping decorators.

In the end I decided to not accept it and recommend to publish it as a separate plugin. The only way to get this in properly would be a re-write of the plugin without leveraging decorators.

@Revln9 @luisrudge To tackle this issue, I believe the plugin has to be fundamentally different. Instead of using decorators you could run a regex on every selection change and then show an autocomplete dropdown. The code would be way easier and I believe this could eventually even replace the mention plugin.

If any of you would write autocomplete plugin, that would be awesome …
