Standard autocomplete dropdowns work well for simple cases, but sometimes you want inline "ghost text" predictions like an IDE. Here's how I built a predictive text input using contentEditable, careful cursor management, and a healthy respect for the DOM.

Here are the patterns I landed on for binding these components to form state, creating intelligent buttons with automated loading states, and lazy-loading fields for better performance.
