Hey Måns,

Honestly, I belive this involves a considerable amount of tricky
fiddling, especially with all the event handling around what does
haven focus, when and where and for how long, etc...

GotoPlugin being at the heart of the searchbox in TagSearch, Eric
really does have a much better understanding of the underlying event
model behind this little box... or to put it differently, it took
quite some time to figure out how to have it behave in TagSearch / or
to have TagSearch around it behave quite the way I wanted.

In fact, this would work quite differently than TagSearch, since it
rather impacts on the mechanisms which trigger the search and also the
search algorithm itself... neither of which TagSearch is messing with.

I remember that Jon also had some autocompletion in use for
NiceTagger... so there are at least three people that might have some
idea on how to not start all the way from zero with this.

Eventually, the input box would be replaced by the textarea for the
tiddler body in addition to a listbox for selection... which would
probably be accessed by pressing the DOWN key or perhaps CTRL+DOWN and
which would cycle through entries, until you EXCAPE out of it or
confirm your action with ENTER... or perhaps with TAB when not being
in the listbox but writing text. Which keys actually trigger each
action should probably be configurable. Also, escaping out of the
listbox should not trigger escaping out of the tiddler.

Lots of stuff... which, for the moment, I would (unfortunately) not
want to endulge in.
