@elextr Good. I'm not aware of any regressions compared to the previous behaviour and definitely don't want to introduce any so if you run into something that worked before and doesn't now, just let me know.

 them spelt correctly

Yeah, exactly how I use the normal autocompletion too :-). The scope completion should show better results, but unfortunately it will be triggered quite rarely.

 kitchen sink auto-completions causes me to use IDE with "smart"
 auto-completions when I'm writing C++ (ex. QtCreator, VisualStudio).

I think it would be possible to sort the tags in a case-insensitive way and make the completion case-insensitive. Shouldn't be that hard. On the other hand because we are searching in all tags, not doing the prefix search might get too slow.
