## What it is
Anycomplete is a Hammerspoon Spoon (plugin) for macOS that brings Google Autocomplete suggestions to any application via a global hotkey. It shows a suggestion popup as you type, letting you pick results with keyboard shortcuts or copy them to the clipboard.

## Use cases
- get google autocomplete suggestions anywhere on mac
- quickly complete long search queries system-wide
- look up search suggestions without opening a browser
- copy autocomplete suggestions to clipboard
- use duckduckgo autocomplete instead of google

## When to choose
- you already use Hammerspoon on macOS and want system-wide autocomplete
- you want keyboard-driven search suggestion lookup in any app
- you prefer a lightweight Lua spoon over a full launcher app

## When to avoid
- you are not a Hammerspoon user and don't want to install it
- you are concerned about sending typed queries to Google (IP blocking risk)
- you need autocomplete on Linux or Windows

- domain: developer-tools, operating-systems
