Added to what he said (wow I actually agree with him on something!) If there are cvars or commands that start with the same little bit, it puts the longer one first, so if you type in the short cvar and press space, it PICKS the longer one, and the only way to then type the one you're going for, is to type the parameter, and then click back into the word and backspace or del the extra characters out.

However I think the spacebar key is a bad key to activate the last used item from the list. For example in my mod I have 3 server commands that start with "add" "add" "addclock" "addtime" so if I want to use the "add" command I type 'a' + 'd' + 'd' 'space' But the space key automatically brings up the first thing in the recall list which would be "addclock" I did not type add clock, I typed add with a space after it because that command takes several parameters in my mod ex: "add player team red" Ok, I would encourage you, to structure the aid tool to use down-arrow opposed to the spacebar to recall the last item. This is the way Microsoft internet explorer works and it seems to be the best method. Otherwise it will just get annoying for a few commands. Don't take my word for it, try it yourself. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has this issue with the console. I do however like the new console A LOT better, but that is it my one complaint.
