My app, SousChef, uses the AppKit autocomplete functionality in a
bunch of places. Currently if a user types "So" they are presented
with a list of completions and the first actual completion ("Soup") is
used inline and selected so that this completed part is used if the
user tabs to the next item but isn't if the user keeps typing (e.g.
"up" is selected, "So" is not). However in recently we've noticed
that if you are typing through an autocomplete and hit space, the
current completion is accepted and the space is appended to it. This
is unwanted behavior. However in Safari's location bar, which has the
functionality I want, if you hit space, the space is appended to the
partial word instead of the full completion. Anyone have an idea of
how to get this behavior of just accepting on enter/tab (cancel on
escape already works)? Currently I'm only implementing -
textView:completionsForPartialWordRange:indexOfSelectedItem:. I
thought to override keyDown: but the problem is that the field editor
is eating keystrokes.
Thanks,
->Ben
