Enter issues

[jellewie]

There seems to be an enter issue, and I managed to track it down and make it consistent. Code is below.

Input given to keyboard

a b c helloworld h

Feedback from program:

data: a~ data: b~ data: c~ data: helloworld~ data: h~

What the program does:

a b c helloworld helloworld

It seems to search for an already printed string and autocomplete to that and send that instead

What I suspected that it would do: Not to autocomplete and send the string I have given with just the character 'h' with an enter
