)The only thing this pattern had to invent — and it is popover::Filter, the combobox's own state, mounted at a caret instead of under a trigger.
Its trigger is a read of the text rather than a key handler: the # nearest behind the caret, if nothing since it has been whitespace. Typing, pasting, arrowing back into a word and deleting the # then all agree without being special-cased.
offset_bounds is the same measurement the IME candidate panel anchors to, so the menu follows the caret down as the box grows. What # offers is a Vec<SharedString> — the app searches its own store.
