## What it is
An Xcode 5+ plugin that replaces Xcode's prefix-matching autocompletion with fuzzy matching based on the Open Quickly pattern. It is no longer maintained and is incompatible with Xcode 9+, which includes similar functionality built in.

## Use cases
- fuzzy autocomplete in Xcode
- match code completions without typing exact prefixes
- fix typos in Xcode completion queries
- rank Xcode completions by relevance score
- filter out low-quality autocomplete suggestions in Xcode

## When to choose
- You are stuck on Xcode 5 through 8 and want fuzzy, Open Quickly-style code completion
- You want completion results ranked by match score with configurable thresholds
- You want auto-correction of case and word order while typing completions

## When to avoid
- You use Xcode 9 or later, which has fuzzy completion built in
- You need a maintained plugin with recent updates or support
- You develop on Linux or Windows, since this only works with Xcode on macOS
