           Summary: edit box with suggestion list: split items on the fly
           Product: kdelibs
           Version: 4.1
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdelibs-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: bluedzins at wp.pl


Version:            (using KDE 4.1.2)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

edit box with suggestion list: split items on the fly

Wish: Having N items in the drop down list split all items by space character
and populate such results in the list on the fly.

Example: I search web using konqueror a lot, so I type in location edit box
javascript increase font
javascript underline
javascript sleep

Ok, next time I start typing
java|
I get dropdown list
javascript increase font
javascript underline
javascript sleep

With this wish you would split the list into the pieces, in this case one new
word would be added
javascript
so I would get longer list

javascript
javascript increase font
javascript underline
javascript sleep

This way I could just press down and keep typing let's say
javascript in|

at this stage (with this wish I would get)
javascript increase
javascript increase font

and again I could press down and continue typing
javascript increase spacing

This would be a boost for incremental entering data. Currently user either has
to type everything from scratch or pick up the the closest match and delete a
lot, and then type in the ending. Not intuitive.
