autocomplete on textarea

[fxck]

usecase is this

it should be as easy as extending the selector.. I think?

But it's gotta be said that it would be cool if you could open it at the caret position, as it works on github.

It's like this project : https://github.com/dmacfarlane/angular2-mentions

[fxck]

I'm working on porting https://github.com/angular-ui/ui-mention to angular2 as a temporary solution to #4444

Yeah, adding it to the caret position would be cool, probably would need a different PositionStrategy for that. For now I don't see why it can't be on textarea as well if you want to send a PR

Fixed in #4945

Does anyone have any examples of how they've implemented this? Do you just detect keystrokes on the textarea and then trigger the autocomplete when it's the proper character and set the origin element to the cursor or something? Would be very much appreciated.
