24516	Improve Autocompletion	GerdP	team	"When tagging guidepost I often have to enter several tag keys like 
`direction_north=*`, `direction_north:route=*`, and `direction_north:symbol`, followed by similar tags for other directions. Sometimes I only need `direction=*`
Autocompletion too often suggests the longest match, e.g. when I start typing `dir` it may suggest key `direction_northwest:symbol` instead of only `direction`. 
I typically have to either type a lot more characters or I use the cursor to get to wanted position. Both are time consuming.
Is there an option to tell JOSM that it should use the shortest match instead? So, e.g. suggest 
`direction` when typing dir, and then, after typing ""_n"" it should suggest `direction_north`.
I think I have the same problem with tag keys like `bicycle:left:surface`, `bicycle:left:traffic_sign` etc.

If there is no such option: Wouldn't it be better to do this by default?"	enhancement	new	normal		Core
