Hi, great video, but I have a question, how can I implement the autocomplete only on specific words I choose?

[julianlagg]

This is good example code but the video would be a lot better if you explain the relevant new classes (QCompleter and QStandardItemModel) more in-depth.
Most of the video is spent writing the typical example-program for Qt, that part could have been shorter.
Still thumbs up, thank you!

How to keep the same behaviour after a comma (", ")?... I mean, like twitter or youtube does when adding tags or hasgtags

Can you do a video about how we load the items directly from a database? so that data from a big data table can shown in the autocomplete? Anyway thanks for the video.

how to do it in QTextEdit box now? you have used QLineEdit .... how to do the same functionality of autocomplete but in QTextEdit box? that would be more fun i guess, and load csv that contains dictionary words... that would be even more fun
