Where did a suggestion from "jsled" come from? Josh left the project some time ago (as usual in volunteer projects - there was not a problem with this) so I guess the comment is probably rather old. If you think about the best default view mode of a register, I think there are many opinions available. For example, I myself like the single-line view mode the most, and would *not* like auto-split as default. But that's why the default can be chosen through the options anyway. > * Talking about the auto-suggest feature. It can help in data entry > speed.

There are surely good reasons for a better handling of keywords or tags and also the auto-suggest / auto-completion feature. However, I think a good design in this area is highly non-trivial. I would suggest to pick this up later in the summer, but not in the beginning.
