Additional suggestions not offered after completing path

Description (last modified by Ryan J Ollos)

After pressing enter/return to complete the path, suggestions for the next path component aren't offered until moving the cursor. Additional suggestions are offered if using tab to select the completion. Is that behavior expected? I expect some people would use enter to choose the completion, so the behavior might be confusing.

From comment:12:ticket:12929:

I think the reopen after completion is good for source suggestion

Right, very important there. So I reverted the behavior for the TAB key.

however it is not good for other strategies. Especially, newline would be unable to be entered when wiki processors is completed with enter key on {{{#!.

So we leave the ENTER key unchanged for now.

It's a trade-off. Sometimes you want to eat the key and stay in suggestion mode, sometimes you want the effect of the key (a newline) and leave suggestion mode. Unfortunately we can't read the user's mind, so we have to rely on rough heuristics and compromises.

Staying in suggestion mode on ENTER would sometimes be convenient, but sometimes it would be extremely irritating. So leave suggestion mode on ENTER is in my opinion the better option.
