We could add a no-autocompletion-at-all option but I don't think this is what you want. Maybe you should press "DELETE" at the end of entering addresses, as this will remove the auto-complete text in any case and does no harm if there is none. > 1) The ability to restrict autocompletion to tags only or tags and a list of > tags where the value can be autocompleted, or inversely, where the value > shouldn't be autocompleted...

You may enter that as a trac ticket but as said I will be very restrictive regarding implementations. AutoCompletion is very tricky and the current variant is a compromise between different aspects which seems to work reliable. > 3) The ability to assign keyboard shortcuts to preset items, right now it > doesn't look like they can be assigned shortcuts in the shortcuts prefs, it > could be useful if they could be as the keyboard access to a specific preset > could be shortened beyond what's proposed in 2 if you need access to a > certain preset often... Make that a trac ticket as well but change from "assign keyboard shortcuts to preset items" to "assign keyboard shortcuts to actions without shortcut".
