1489554 - Do not open the autocomplete popup if there's a letter right after the cursor

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(DevTools :: Console, defect, P1)

Description

[Nicolas Chevobbe [:nchevobbe]]

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Open the console
2. Enter `soc = 1`
3. Realize you were wrong and wanted to call the variable `doc`.
4. Go to the beginning of the input, remove the `s` and type `d
` instead.
5. Press enter to evaluate

**Expected results**

My `doc` variable is assigned as expected and the console input is cleared.

**Actual results**

Pressing `d` opened the autocomplete popup, (with probably decodeURI being selected), and hitting Enter put it in the input (I now have `decodeURIoc = 1` in the input and have to angrily go back and remove what the console wrongfully did).

---

I think it's safe to not show the popup if there's a alphanumeric character (+ "_" and "$") just after the cursor.
