Autocompletion of command line - Annoying behaviour
Posted: 2006-11-26, 17:48 UTC
Hi, I just started to use the 7 beta2 and I found one very annoying thing - the command line autocompletion. It could be useful, but not that way it works now.
Just example - I have a program that backups my project. It's name is back.exe. It creates a directory named Backup and stores backup inside it. When I type "back" the TC places "backup" in the command line (because the directory already exists). But I dont want to open that directory - so I have to write "back" - Delete - Enter - Enter. And that's really annoying.
I think that the autocomplete should not work like this - it should open the combobox with the autocomplete words, but it should not automatically add the words to the command line. If I want to choose one of the autocomplete words I should be able to do it using different key than Enter - for example Down key.
