For example, if we are going to overload a viewDidAppear: method, we must type in view丶did丶appear order to get the corresponding completion information, after using Fuzzyautocompleteplugin, we can type vda(view丶did丶appear三个单词的首字母) , or any substring that matches the viewDidAppear order of the entire word ( such as vdapp,idear, etc.), can be matched to this method
