Replace jquery smart autocomplete with a more robust solution #333

See todo in QuickFileOpen.js

Currently jquery smart autocomplete (http://laktek.com/2011/03/03/introducing-jquery-smart-autocomplete/) is used as an auto suggest list in Brackets. While this mostly works for QuickFileOpen there are some limitations so it's likely we will want to replace this component with a more robust solution when our need for an auto complete component grows.

Issues with jquery smart autocomplete

  • only accepts an array of strings. A list of objects is preferred to avoid some work arounds to display
    both the path and filename.
  • the popup position logic has flaws that require css work-arounds
  • the popup properties cannot be modified once the object is constructed
