Always shows or update > completions and visible only updates if they are already visible. > The other previous values just hide completions. > >> 3. unique candidate (complete and hides completion) >> 4. unique common but completion is a valid entry (complete-common and hides completion) Shouldn't some value disable hiding completions in the last case when there are more completions available with a valid entry as a prefix? Maybe the same values 'visible'/'always' should be applicable for this case as well?
