Good morning Benjamin,
Thank you for this info; however, I did the same search on “m” (for example) before checking the option in question, and it already works.
Apparently, this option would be well activated pae flaw...
(tested on Win 8 Pro x64).
@throkr: yes, a -component- containing a proposal list appears by default -below- of the input bar. On the other hand, nothing fits into this bar (just at the end of the seizure). Also, to have this function that simplifies manual selection by pressing a single key (right arrow or input), you have to activate it as explained.
