Is there a way to have a multi-line text input widget with autocomplete?

[arnitdo]

Using (for reference)

• Qt 5.15.2
• C++11
• CMake
• Windows 10

I'm currently using QCompleter to provide autocomplete suggestions in my project. Only QLineEdit (i.e single line) supports QCompleter as the completer. The user input will span multiple lines, and I will be requiring QTextEdit or a similar multi-line text input widget for the task. Is there a way to have QCompleter work with QTextEdit?

One solution I've thought of is creating multiple QLineEdit widgets, and setting the completer for each widget, which does not seem very efficient or smart. Any help is appreciated.

TIA, arnitdo
