It implements fuzzy matching so typos don't break completion, supports arrow-key and Tab navigation, and can be styled via Textual CSS. Candidates can be supplied as a static list, as DropdownItem objects with metadata columns and rich markup, or via a callback function that runs on each keystroke to generate dynamic suggestions.\n\nThe package includes a specialized PathAutoComplete widget for filesystem path completion with directory caching. It's designed to integrate seamlessly into Textual apps with minimal setup\u2014typically just instantiating AutoComplete with a target input widget and a candidate list.
