it's the same thing with using ENTER instead of TAB to accept
completions. I and Igor for instance strongly prefer ENTER, whereas
other people like you don't like that... now we can start a swiss
democracy over that and decide in 100 years whether we should support
ENTER or not. OR we simply add an option, both sides happy!
To me, same argument as in the other post applies;
How often do I tab after typing a character?
Not very often. When coding, I tab usually only to indent before
starting to type, not to align text succeeding other text on a line.
How often do I use enter after typing a character?
Whenever I want to split a multi-argument function call over multiple lines.
How often enter is an annoyance thus depends on how often I've already
used the autocomplete to finish the argument name :)
(And even less if menu would close when you've manually typed in a sole
suggestion)
Overall, either option at worst introduces minor disruption to normal
code editing.
Left and right keys are on a whole other level, imho...
Cheers,
