Add "Tab→" note on autocompletion entries

[LoganDark]

Imagine this:

Type h. You see help, but you want history. Down arrow to select history, review the description, looks good. Right arrow... doesn't autocomplete, nothing happens. That's okay... clicking on the item also does nothing... Well heck, now I have to type a whole 5 letters. This is definitely not okay.

:)

You should press Tab to auto-complete, not right arrow. Perhaps right arrow could be added as an alternative in addition to Tab.

And don't forget clicking on the item directly. I got extremely confused when even that didn't work. Perhaps you could add a footnote at the bottom of the autocomplete frame, "Tab to autocomplete"

I'm not too sure on the clicking, since Cmdr is solely a keyboard experience right now. I think I'd rather hold off on making them buttons until if/when Cmdr receives an update to make it compatible with touch interfaces.

I wasn't aiming for it not to be a keyboard experience, however some kind of footnote or right-arrow completion (as my actual shell supports) would be nice.

Actually, I don't think it would be possible to support right-arrow completion since there is no way to determine what the user's cursor position is inside a TextBox at any given moment. Thus it would be impossible to distinguish if the user was auto-completing or just moving their cursor to the right.

Footnote then?

[evaera]

Sure, I imagine it looking like this: (without the outline...)

[LoganDark]

IMHO this one looks better, but provides slightly less indication on which one will be completed

Here's a graphic, if you'd like.

Should be resized to 30 pixels tall, I've provided it at 2x resolution for Retina support.

Okay, the graphic is not a good idea. Even with the correct text size, it looks out of place.

Maybe use a TextLabel with the same Code font?

[evaera]

Note that it's now possible to add support for right arrow completion, as the CursorPosition property has been added to text boxes.

Yeeeeeeeesssssssss!
