Description doria 2014-01-14 15:34:31 UTC 
I would suggest the following improvements:

* "Use the whole Address-Book for Auto-Complete": Make this a option in settings. This is useful for corporate, groups and other likes since you may don't know a specific mail/name or other field but instead a group or company name. Maybe even allow to select the used fields for auto-complete to give the user more control.

* "Simpler AutoComplete": Writing a few letters then TAB opens the auto complete List allowing us to browse with UP & DOWN keys. ENTER pastes the value to composer. ESC closes the Auto-Complete. Imho TAB should also act as ENTER if a valid item was selected. That way you could quickly insert addresses! Right now it closes the Auto-Complete (I really miss this feature - coming from Thunderbird - This could help making the transition smother)
