Subject: bug#53935: 27.2; [PATCH] ecomplete.el: Auto-select when there is only a single option
Date: Fri, 11 Feb 2022 15:47:14 +1300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1d908e97443d75dcb94e1e7c9fdcfb79@webmail.orcon.net.nz> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 669 bytes --]
I tried out ecomplete for email address completion today(*),
and I found it slightly annoying that when there was only a
single match for the text, I still have to firstly type M-n
to access the completion 'list', and then RET to select the
only available option.
Would the attached patch be a reasonable enhancement?
