Description

Often when I desire a newline or a tab, but I have typed something which has an autocomplete, I have to press escape and then press enter/tab. This seems awkward and I frequently get results I did not desire.

I can turn on "tab and enter when suggestion selected explicitly", but this has a slightly different quirk. Enter now will do newline (but tab will not give a tab), and if you want the top selection (and are used to pressing enter to select the suggestion) you have to go down one suggestion and then back up.

It would be fantastic to have a further option ("null first suggestion" or something) where the first suggestion in any autocomplete list is null (i.e. nothing selected). Using tab or enter would work 100% normally while this item is selected, but to use a suggestion it must be navigated to. This feels quite natural to me especially as I'm not always selecting the first suggestion anyway.

I hate this. Please either make the first entry null or add an option to never confirm a selection unless navigated to with the arrow keys.
