People,
I have a version you can test here: https://github.com/jeanlaroche/gnucash.git , fix_autocompletion branch.
A couple notes:
- I worked off of maint, which I shouldn't have since this is probably a new feature. I'll fix that eventually.
- The feature is fully functional, as far as I can tell.
- I added an option in the preferences to use type-ahead-search (register), but at this point, it's not working right (it does not hold, so I must be missing some code). - I tested on accounts with large number of accounts (> 8000), and as far as I can tell it works OK. When you start typing there are potentially thousands of matching accounts but I only display the first 30 to avoid making the UI horribly sluggish, I think that's a good compromise.

Give that a shot and let me know what you think. The code is not ready for a PR as I still have lots of comments that would need to go.

PREFERENCES:
If someone can point me in the right direction for preferences, it would be great. I essentially replicated the code for "Enter moves to blank transaction" (by searching all references of the defines for that pref, and adding the ones needed for the new option) but I must be missing something because the code says the preference key is invalid. The new option shows in the preferences, but the rest isn't working.

Jean,
That patch was for register2 which is stalled, it has no bearing on the current version.

    I believe, Bob will faster understand, what is happening there.
