In stock Vim you can press <C-X><C-L> to complete the rest of the current line from all matching lines in all open buffers. You can also press <C-X><C-F> to complete the current path from matching paths on the filesystem. Might there be any interest in adding support here for these powerful features? Thanks for your consideration and for the great work on VSCodeVim!

I can take this one. I looked at a line completion solution this morning. I have line completion working by just going through lines of visible editors and matching startsWith of the current line. If performance is fine with many files open then hopefully that is all we need.

PR is up with #3048 for line completion. I may look at file completion after that is merged. It will likely behave similarly, using Quick Pick.
