I meant to say that I like how the current system does not run a function on every keystroke.
I intentionally avoid keystroke triggered analysis in my text editor to assure there is no input lag.

Auto-complete systems that analyze the input on every keystroke can be convenient;
however, the cost is reduced performance,
lots of extra processing (some of it producing nothing),
and as you noted it can interfere with typing when we don't care about using auto-completion.

If you are inspired to add the feature, I suggest an option to disable it.
Personally I can remember the short commands, so no completion system assists me.

I think the priorities are fixing bugs, and adding things that people are begging for
that would benefit the majority of users.

I'm an advocate for focusing on what needs to be completed
so that we can move our attention to LibreCAD 3.
