Okay, you know how most of the times, you play with many players ingame that have clan tags infront of their names?
For example
{Clan}Inub
{Clan}BoobFais
{Clan}MeSuck
Imagine they are all ingame at the same time and you want to specifically PM one of them like for example, I want to PM Inub but when I start off with /{Clan} then space for PM, boobfais' name comes up and I'm like OMFG I gotta type it again. You should make it in a way like a drop menu or something pops up and you can use the up and down arrow keys to just choose one of the 3 names.

Not sure where I recall this from:
- If single name, autofill with fill name (now).
- If multiple names with same begining occur, fill in until the end of the common name, hit tab, continue typing the rest of the name and autofill will match according if there is a single match based on the letters, if not, repeat process.
Example:
{CLAN}MyNick
{CLAN}YourNick
{QQQ}Third
Type:
/{C
<Autofills 'LAN}'> - Hit tab and you are at /{CLAN}
Type in rest of nick /{CLAN}M
<Autofills 'yNick'> - Hit Tab and you are at /{CLAN}MyNick
Well, I tried to explain it. (Or I can be thinking Ren already does that, don't remember. in that care, just ignore me)

also annoying, some players have a / in their names, stopping you from typing their whole name out without pming them.
Clantags are a nuisance, especially when two players have the same name except for a few numbers at the end. Eg
Iamsosuperdupertranquilisingl33t01
Iamsosuperdupertranquilisingcool

- A dropdown is probably too hard.
- The bug where / in the middle of a sentence started autocompletion has been fixed.
- The bug where /page is autocompleted to something else is perhaps fixable. I will look into it as soon as we decided upon a improved way of autocompleting.
- Autocompleting the middle of a name is technically hard because of the way it currently works (it autocompletes, then sets the selection to the autocompleted part of the nick so that the next key press overwrites the autocompleted part. If you auto complete on both sides, you'd need two selections, which is impossible).
- The tab "complete until difference" idea is possible (you probably got the idea from some linux shell, it's the way they use), the "cycle through options" using tab is probably also possible.
- About the player id thing: you can't get the player id of a player, so that's not good. The ingame rank can change, so it might be inconvenient if you're trying to send a message to player #3, right he ranks up to #2.

Don't make fun of my {Clan}BoobFais name!!

That would be cool cycle through the names
