File completion broken #10

I wanted to use xprompt in xfilesctl for xfiles as the urlbar as it supports file name completion (-f).

Unfortunately, when using -f, pressing Enter on a completion candidate simply clears the prompt line which makes it kind of useless. Try xprompt -f </dev/null for instance.

Do you know any other prompt/menu with file name completion?

There is rofi's file-browser-extended, but it doesn't quite behave as I'd like. I'd like it to autocomplete directories (including absolute paths) until I press Enter.
