Do not append backslash to folders in auto-complete
Posted: 2012-08-23, 15:04 UTC
The backslash appended to folders in auto-complete makes auto-complete incompatible with the common use pattern "select from list - press backslash - select from list - press backslash - ..." as customary on Windows. Now the backslash has to be deleted before it is typed again to bring up the list.
The new behaviour was introduced by 25.10.11 addition "Auto-complete: Always append backslash to folders, except in main window command line (32/64)"
I suggest one of the following modifications:
1) Revert to the previous behaviour (no backslash) - of course, this would conflict with whatever the reason for the new behaviour was.
2) Make this behaviour optional (at least through ini) - this would clutter the configuration.
3) Make the appended backslash selected - typing the backslash would overwrite the selection and open the list.
Best regards,
