I think the current behavior is best for most people. For you, instead
of pressing CTRL-Y you can use CTRL-N and continue typing, that normally
stops completion.
I don't know other tools that use CTRL-Y... You might be tempted to hit
<Enter> to accept the current match, we had that discussion before.
That kind of use simply doesn't go well with "longest".
