[issue23961] IDLE autocomplete window does not automatically close when selection is made

[Al Sweigart]

Al Sweigart added the comment:

I should clarify: I'm referring to the "Show Completion" feature. The repro 
steps are (on Windows 7 64-bit, Python 3.5)

1. Type "pri"
2. Press Ctrl+Space or click Edit > Show Completions. The autocomplete window 
appears.
3. Press Tab. The text updates from "pri" to "print"
4. However, the autocomplete window is still there.
5. Pressing space or ( will then cause the autocomplete window to disappear.

This is distinct from issue 15786, but close enough that I'll close this bug 
and add this comment to it. Thanks for the input!

I believe Tab is working as designed.  If so, you are requesting that the 
design be reviewed and possible changed.  As noted in #15786, Click and Enter 
are not working as intended, so I think fixing the bugs is a higher priority.

Al Sweigart added the comment:

Edit: Looking into it further, this behavior was originally for when the Show 
Completions dropdown wasn't being displayed. In that case, pressing tab would 
complete only up to the first ambiguous completion.

For example, typing "os.ge" and pressing tab would complete to "os.get", since 
from there it is ambiguous whether it will be os.get_exec_path, 
os.get_handle_inheritable, get_terminal_size, etc.

This behavior should stay the same. Although if it is completely unambiguous 
what the final completion is (say for typing "pri" and pressing tab, which can 
only autocomplete to "print") then the Show Completions dropdown should 
disappear.

[issue23961] IDLE autocomplete window does not automatically close when selection is made

[Al Sweigart]

New submission from Al Sweigart:

All autocomplete features (for example, Eclipse & Android Studio) cause the 
autocomplete window to disappear when a selection is made. When tab is pressed 
in IDLE, the window does not disappear.

IDLE should be changed so that the window goes away when tab is pressed to 
complete the window after Ctrl+Space or Edit > Show Completions openedit. 
Currently, the window stays open until another keyboard key is pressed (e.g. 
space, or an opening parenthesis)
