4160	Add option to complete words from all open files	psprint	andrew_b	"Hi,
I submit a patch that adds a new option to `mcedit`: `editor_wordcompletion_collect_all_files` which, when enabled, works as follows:

– normally when editing a file `A` and requesting a completion one gets candidates only from the same file `A`,
– other open files aren't searched,
– this option changes that – it makes the completion engine to provide candidates from all currently open files.

I think that it's a more usable scenario. All other editors like Vim complete in this way. I'm editing quite much in `mcedit` and have been hitting the *same buffer* limitation often so that I've decided to submit a patch. I've made the option enabled by default."	enhancement	closed	major	4.8.27	mcedit	master	fixed	completion				merged	committed-master
