[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (AS7-6004) Inconsistent tab completion behaviour between commands and arguments

[Jeff Mesnil (JIRA)]

     [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-6004?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Jeff Mesnil updated AS7-6004:
-----------------------------

    Description: 
When tab is used for completion, the behavior changes when there is only 1 remaining candidate.

For commands, when the completion leads to a single candidate, a whitespace is appended and we can proceed to the arguments
For arguments using a TabCompleter, when the completion leads to a single candidate, no whitespace is appended and we have to type it to be able to proceed to the next argument
 
Example:

* deployment-over<TAB>
=> will complete to deployment-overlay<WHITESPACE><CURSOR> (a whitespace is appended to the single candidate)

* deployment-overlay a<TAB>
=> will complete to deployment-overlay add<CURSOR> (no whitespace appended even though add is the only candidate matched)
