Count the no of times a user used the suggestions given by the autocomplete

[xzavyer]

Is there any way to record the selection done by the user to create stats? for example, the autocomplete feature gave the list ['hi', 'hello'] for 'h', I need to maintain a count for the no of times a user selected hi and no of times a user selected 'hello'. Is there any API specifically for this?

there is currently no API for this, but you may be able to calculate this yourself by detecting the contents of the buffer around the caret/selection before and after the commit_completion was fired - I experimented with something similar here:

Retrieving inserted and deleted text

But that won't help if the user clicks on the completion to choose it instead of using a keyboard shortcut:
