@chrishamm date didn't changed but the issue seems to have sorted itself, anyways;
Thank you! it seems the issues have been resolved, and we now have the option of selecting from the autocomplete list with enter or tab. Where enter sends immediately and tab just populates the input area for editing. Hitting escape to dismiss the autocomplete list and subsequently pressing enter will send what is shown in the input area.
Using arrow keys up/down will bring back the autocomplete list, I guess it could skip that if the only stored entry is identical to the input area, but other than that a nice feature. Allowing the delete key to act as a hotkey to remove the currently highlighted autocomplete entry would be the cherry on top.
two thumbs up!
