Well, that would be nice. But it does not work this way now :) If I have 500 matches and hit a key that turns my word into "no-match", then the completion aborts. So, either way something has to be changed. It is no good when after BackSpace the completion continues, but after a typo it aborts. It just contradicts itself. I don't need to hit BackSpace untill I make typo, but when I make typo it's too late already :) Still, this way will require learning new habbit of using Ctrl-Y to end completion, because otherwise the completion won't end. I think it is safer to abort completion as soon as there's no match :) -- Minds, like parachutes, function best when open
