Hello,
I'm writing to ask if there is a way for the autocomplete function in Ace editor to be used to execute an arbitary function, which is not linked to replacing code in the editor? This type of completion should be able to appear alongside regular completions snippets/custom/keyword/etc.

Hi
Yes, It is possible, see https://github.com/ajaxorg/ace/blob/v1.1.9/lib/ace/autocomplete.js#L183.
Add insertMatch method to your completer and set `completer: this` on data returned from it.

just out of curiosity, what is it going to do instead of replacing text?
