[Feature]: Show Predictions For Text Expander

[Maxitendo1]

Problem to solve

FluentTyper currently offers word-level autocomplete predictions based on the selected language, which is great. However, the text expansion feature (custom shortcut snippets like callMe: "Call me back once you're free") has no predictive component.

When a user has accumulated many snippets or uses long, complex abbreviations, it becomes hard to remember which shortcuts exist and what they expand to. There's no way to discover or get reminded of available snippets while typing. You either remember the exact abbreviation or it doesn't trigger at all, effectively making unused snippets invisible.

Proposed solution

Extend the prediction engine to also surface matching text expander snippets alongside (or interleaved with) the existing language-based autocomplete suggestions. As the user types, FluentTyper would check the current token against the snippet library.

Mockups, examples, or references

1. User has snippets: address → full mailing address, sig → email signature, hamburger → Full Hamburgur Recipe
2. While typing ad, FluentTyper shows a suggestion: address → "123 Main Street, City, ZIP"
3. User presses Tab to accept, and the snippet expands

Additional context

Benefits:

• Users rediscover snippets they forgot they had.
• No need to memorize dozens of abbreviations.
• Brings the text expander experience closer to the smart autocomplete users already rely on for language predictions.

Whats interesting is that it works a bit, but only if you write the same word in the other text field too:
