I don't like this at all. This is a far less mature library and I can't even find any documentation. The "standard" keys I use every day like alt+b and alt+f for fast searching through the text aren't there, so I find myself holding down the arrow key to move through a long line.

I understand this is to do with tab completion but it could surely be an option? I'd like to see both included in the standard builds and a runtime option to select between them.
