No offence here, just curiosity.
Why bother to create one if it'll not come in PP, since there
exists a superb alias freeware "TypeAndRun".
At a glance, TAR can already do all what you described and more,
even 'keyboard shortcuts' through a plugin in near future.
The only thing I'm aware of that people might think as a
shortcoming of TAR is its memory consumption, ~4MB at minimum.
I know the author had done a lot memory optimization, but it's
written in 'Delphi 7' so has a certain limitation.
But, I didn't experience a significant memory leakage in the
recent versions.

You said it'll come as the single executable.
Will it be a genuine stand-alone executable or merely shipped
with the script engine? I'm afraid here whether I properly
expressed what I meant, I'm a total novice in programming.
If the latter, I doubt it could do the autocompletion et al
in any useful manner if the script engine has not been
specifically designed for these jobs.

If my memory serves, there already was a PP script long ago
which intended to do autocompletion, however, I would not
call it the (exact) autocompletion, especially if compared
with those in TAR or in the latest PP.
I think someone could also script those you intend to achieve
with only PP's pure script engine, let alone the difficulties.
But, I highly doubt that it'll ever become useful.

If I overlooked or misunderstood something, please corret me.
Thanks for your patience.
