Search Auto-completion Behavior

[GoogleCodeExporter]

This is a very minor suggestion, but is something that comes up a lot for me. 
As it behaves now, the auto-complete suggestions that come up when performing a 
search are selected by default, which is fairly inconvenient.

That is to say, if a search you type has suggestions that come up, hitting 
ENTER will fill the highlighted suggestion into the search box, rather than 
performing the search you just typed. One must press ESC and then ENTER to 
perform the desired search. Even if the suggestion is for the exact search 
already typed, hitting ENTER will still re-enter this in the box rather than 
running the search.

I think a more sensible behavior would be the one google and FF address bar 
use, where no suggestions are selected by default, and pressing down arrow 
selects the first.

OK, it looks like the search suggestions are generated from the words.txt file 
in the program directory, and deleting this seems to have disabled the feature 
with no problems so far. 

Since I don't really use autofill features that much, I'm cool with that, but 
it still might be a good idea to make this feature more optional (if only so 
people who type "female" don't necessarily end up with a search for "female 
ejaculation" ^^)

to avoid the suggestion to be input in the search space, simply press space 
before pressing enter. It is just a small habit to take.

But personally, me too, I thought that the way the suggestions work is 
annoying. first proposal is always selected.

PS : what is your problem with women ejaculation? ;)

I see what you mean.
As it is a very (very) easy thing to do, there's no problem. You shouldn't have 
to delete a file just for this. Now nothing will be selected by default, and 
you will have to push the down arrow, just as you suggested.
By the way, it seems auto-completion got messed up since the 3.0.0 version (no 
completion for modifiers, no Ctrl+Space shortcut, etc.), I'll have it fixed at 
the same time too. Adding an option to disable autocompletion might also be 
easily doable.

Thinking about it, I also should update the words.txt file, it's getting 
outdated and is missing some tags.

about this txt file list,
Don't you think that it could be possible to add an option inside grabber to 
generate that file directly from the different boards?

something like : "generate/update tag list"

That list might vene be generated when grabber is installed

that way, it will be always fresh and up to date!

...if it's possible

I am sure there is a list available on those boards
maybe that "generate list" feature could have a few option?
-exclude black list
-only include artist names/copyright/etc ...
-only include X most popular tags (if there is any kind of rating with tags? is 
there a top list of most popular?)

also an option to just make a brand new list, or add the new entries to the 
existing list.

if it possible ^^;;

The original task has been done.
The user now has to press the down key then enter to replace by the 
auto-completion.

As for updating the tag list manually, it is explained how to do this here:

(check the "examples" section)

If you have suggestions regarding CLI options, feel free to open a new ticket 
^.^
