## Use Smartcase Search

- Description: When enabled, automatically adjusts search case sensitivity based on your query. If your search query contains any uppercase letters, the search becomes case-sensitive; if it contains only lowercase letters, the search becomes case-insensitive. \
  This applies to both in-file searches and project-wide searches.
- Setting: `use_smartcase_search`
- Default: `false`

**Options**

`boolean` values

Examples:

- Searching for "function" would match "function", "Function", "FUNCTION", etc.
- Searching for "Function" would only match "Function", not "function" or "FUNCTION"

- Description: Controls how completions are processed for this language.
- Setting: `completions`

    "lsp_fetch_timeout_ms": 0,
    "lsp_insert_mode": "replace_suffix"
  }
}
```

### Words

- Description: Controls how words are completed. For large documents, not all words may be fetched for completion.
- Setting: `words`
- Default: `fallback`

**Options**

1. `enabled` - Always fetch document's words for completions along with LSP completions
2. `fallback` - Only if LSP response errors or times out, use document's words to show completions
3. `disabled` - Never fetch or complete document's words for completions (word-based completions can still be queried via a separate action)

### LSP

- Description: Whether to fetch LSP completions or not.
- Setting: `lsp`
- Default: `true`

**Options**

`boolean` values

### LSP Fetch Timeout (ms)

- Description: When fetching LSP completions, determines how long to wait for a response of a particular server. When set to 0, waits indefinitely.
- Setting: `lsp_fetch_timeout_ms`
- Default: `0`

**Options**

`integer` values representing milliseconds

### LSP Insert Mode

- Description: Controls what range to replace when accepting LSP completions.
- Setting: `lsp_insert_mode`
- Default: `replace_suffix`

**Options**

1. `insert` - Replaces text before the cursor, using the `insert` range described in the LSP specification
2. `replace` - Replaces text before and after the cursor, using the `replace` range described in the LSP specification
3. `replace_subsequence` - Behaves like `"replace"` if the text that would be replaced is a subsequence of the completion text, and like `"insert"` otherwise
4. `replace_suffix` - Behaves like `"replace"` if the text after the cursor is a suffix of the completion, and like `"insert"` otherwise

## Show Completions On Input
