Seems quite suitable for "flattened submenus" given code that can break
these names into pieces.

In principle you could implement auto-show-completions or auto-completion
(auto-show-completions plus setting the input field to the completion with
the completed part selected) on the Lua side, but I recently started working
on C-side support for auto-show-completions. It's mostly working
(completions automatically shown as the text is modified, tab cycles through
completions), but the last few days I've been busy with looking for a flat
in another town (and will likely be for some time with that and related
matters) and haven't yet decided how directories and full command lines
should be handled. Currently options for file completion are:
1. Require manual Control+Tab (for example) to show completions within a
directory after a directory was selected from list of completions.
2. Do not complete trailing slash for directories, and require it to be
typed.
I also haven't decided how command line completion cycling should be
handled. (Everything I know that has auto-show-completions or
auto-completion only works on simple lists of possible completions.) Any
input on these is welcome. An experimental patch can be found at
<http://iki.fi/tuomov/auto-show-completions.darcs>. I do not like
auto-completion as defined above, btw.
