Description
So I've managed to get tofi to resemble and mostly work like dmenu; but there's only one thing that's functionally different and proves to be a frequent hurdle while using it:
The behavior of the Tab key.
In dmenu: The tab key autocompletes the input to the first match in the list, making it quick and easy to add your arguments, filename, hostname, URL, et cetera to the command.
In tofi: The tab key rotates through the results, duplicating the functions of the arrow keys (which dmenu uses for the same function). This makes it slow and cumbersome in the sense that even if you only have one match left, you still need to manually type out the command in order to add arguments to it.
I've searched and searched, picked through the configuration files, and found nothing in the way of reassigning the tab key to autocompletion like dmenu offers. Is there no way to do this, or am I just missing it?
And if there is no way to currently do this, could it be added as a feature? A lot of users rely on using tab for autocompletion in this way, and having tab simply duplicating the functions of the arrow keys just seems kind of counterintuitive and redundant.
