Answer 1

Modifying the language_tools.js file is not a good solution, you can adjust the regex pattern by calling the method getCompletionRegex:

editor.getCompletionRegex = () => /[a-zA-Z_0-9.\$\-\u00A2-\uFFFF]/;

Answer 2

In the ext-language-tools.js file,

Replace var ID_REGEX = /[a-zA-Z_0-9\$\-\u00A2-\uFFFF]/;

to

var ID_REGEX = /[a-zA-Z_0-9\.\$\-\u00A2-\uFFFF]/;

With the above ID_REGEX the autocomplete will now trigger on periods (.)

Answer 3

Managed to solve it by modifying the ID_REGEX var in language_tools.js.
