I add this link as a reference to feature, which will be so handy for Python Custom Plugins

Tbh i see no point in this feature. My (and most default) triggers are short (two or three chars). Completing them makes no sense imho.

But when you have multiple plugins and you need to recall of them, then it would be better to have autocomplete
Anyway, I have created this tiny plugin to do the auto-completion

            "my": "mylist ",
            "to": "todo ",
            "au": "autolist ",
            # Add more mappings as needed
        }

why dont you just use the short triggers as triggers?

Would it make any differences in the plugin functionality ?

Closing since the intention of triggers is to be short. the keyboard has a lot of chars to combine like roughly 100? if you use up to three chars for triggers you have 100+100^2+100^3 = 1010100 possible short triggers. just an estimate. a lot of the, are inconvenient for sure (like a_4), but you get the point right?

Often, due to muscle memory, i am even faster typing an entire selfexplanatory word than trying to remember a trigger. my list looks like
