    IDLE completions are currently implemented in two files: autocomplete.py and autocomplete_w.py. The first handles 'open' events, decides whether to open a window, and gathers possible completions. The second open a popup and works with the sorted list of possible completions.

    FIX

    Question: Why does 'dooneevent' appear in 2.x code and not 3.x code?

    Tests: The currently only for a subset of autocomplete methods. There are none for the buggy window.

    Add dependencies. Last two, bpo-27099 and bpo-27534 involve multiple files and should be removed from this autocomplete list when autocomplete part is done.

    Add bpo-27675. If open quote is ' or '', actions (character key or box selection with up or down arrow) after first are not colored. ' and ''' do not complete, when needed, nor close.

    In re-verifying bpo-27675, the color bug seems to be gone. The completion bug is still here, at least on Windows.

    It would be good to sort the issues by whether they appear to affect autocomplete.py or autocomplete_w.py or both.

    bpo-37765 Include keywords in ''(main) list.

    ###### Annotate completion list, at least as an option, with 'keyword' or class, possibly prefixed with 'built-in', so 'built-in function', 'function', and so on.

    bpo-37766 revise fetch_completions, add htest

    Normally, tab completion works for attributes (after '.' and a possible prefix) and files (after os.sep and a possible prefix). Unique matches to prefixes are immediately selected, as for undotted module names. After changing the completion wait time and before restarting, this is disabled and tab adds spaces instead. This need a new issue and fix.

    The removed post duplicates the content of bpo-37766. Another bug is reported and will be fixed there.
