autocomplete search key specify

By default autocomplete in ace editor picks up value for search and value for substituting in the text field. Can we specify a name for search and value for substitution? Any help is appreciated.

eg for completor

var completer = {
getCompletions: function(editor, session, pos, prefix, callback) {
var f = [
{'value': '2', 'name': 'two'},
{'value': '3', 'name': 'three'},
{'value': 'four', 'name': '4'}
];
callback(null, f);
}
};


In this example, the only value is used for the search. I want to show customers a verbose text during popup but when he/she hits select value should be substituted.

{'value': 'two', 'name': '2'}

You could use the insertmatch function inside your autocompleter, and then when the user clicks on two substitute the value with 2

insertMatch: function(editor, data) {
var insertedValue = data.value;
if(insertedValue === "two") {
//Make the required changes here
}
}
