Disable the # autocomplete popup in post editor?

I think this change would help. There may be one more missing rule though:

Take this line:

this ##

If I position my cursor after the first # it, currently triggers auto-complete.

And this:

some stuff #abcdefg

If I use the left arrow key to go back through #abcdefg, it is triggered at every position. It feels like it should only be triggered when I’m positioned at the end of that string.

So maybe the logic should be something like:

Trigger auto complete iff:

  • # is preceded by whitespace AND
  • cursor is followed by whitespace AND
  • characters between # and cursor are all valid hashtag characters OR
  • (no characters between # and cursor AND # not at beginning of line)
