Feature Request: Option to use automatically use the first option if additional characters won't change the top result #39

Open universemaster opened 1 year ago

For example, if I want \lambda, I want to only need to type as may starting characters so as to distinguish it from other possibilities.

So, I'd only need to type \lam and then the extension will activate with a λ, without me checking the dropdown and hitting tab.

This might not be suitable for people using the fuzzy matching (rather than "starts with"), so this new functionality should be available as an option.

There may be nuances to this feature request that I have not thought of. So, please let's discuss them.

My overall aim is to reduce cognitive load when writing latex and to be able to type as fast as possible.
