Auto complete for "real" text #201352

Description

@luantak

I love the autocompletion for code, however when writing "real" text (comments, docs, a novel), suddenly I need to type every single character.

Basically I would like whatever the bing chat team uses for it's chat-box autocompletion in vscode.

See it in action:

Why?:

I'm not a native English speaker and for certain words I don't know the right spelling. I have often googled the spelling of words, which breaks my "flow". Right now I use "Code Spell Checker", which helps to keep track of the misspelled words. They can then be corrected in a second pass, however this is still a little awkward and sometimes I manage to misspell so thoroughly even the spell checker can't help.

Similarly would this help native speakers with dyslexia.

Also I'm just used to autocompletion/ fuzzy search everywhere, having to type whole words doesn't feel natural to me, especially when I'm fatigued.
