Shift+Space Has Different Behavior with Roam42 Than Stock Roam #355

I have projects of the name "P: MyProject Name". When Roam42 is not installed I can start typing page titles as follows in the search box...

SHIFT + P
SHIFT + :
SHIFT + " "
SHIFT + M
y

And the search will work fine. With Roam42 installed the following keystroke does not behave as expected...

SHIFT + " " At this point the first partial search term is picked and is opened. Any ideas on why this is going on? Shift + " " doesn't seem to be used by Roam42 itself anywhere.

That is a native Roam42 functionality. Just release the shift when typing space.

This can be disabled in the Roam42 menu, feature is called autocomplete. It autocompletes the selection of the first item in a drop down. If you get use to it, it can make selection fast. However, not all users like this flow.
