Would be nice if this could be extended to the town's names. In Multiplayer you often refer to locations near some town.

I took up again this patch, made it compatible with latest revision, and made some changes:

Compare is case insentive (truelight resolves to TrueLight)
When more than one person start with the same letters, it loops through it (Player1 and Player2 are there, pressing p will give Player2)

For the rest some minor code-style updates. Nothing fancy.

Nice patch!

Btw, it might be nice if it indeed resolves to town-names and station-names too.. although it might be slightly frustrating. Maybe assign an other key to do that?

New version, now when you are at the end of the options, it shows your original text again. More IRC-alike.

Yet an other new version, it now also loops through empty text (so just pressing when you opened the chatbox, makes it cycle through all names). Also, this is a bit more logic :)

Sorry about the many patches shortly after eachother ;)

And again, an update. This time 2 new things:

Auto-complete town-names (first players, then towns)
Allow auto-complete inside text. For example: Hi P, will resolve to 'Hi Player', if someone is named Player ;)

One possible 'bug', it doesn't check the cursor place, it just works on the last word of the chat. Like anyone will ever notice... ;)
