Autocomplete box - wraparound edges?

I love the very-useful Autocomplete command feature, but there is one thing that bugs me:

The up and down keys do not "wrap around" between the first and last items.

Perhaps this was intentional, but I would love to see it added.

For example, I type 'proc' and it lists

Code: Select all

Procedure
ProcedureC
ProcedureCDLL
ProcedureDLL
ProcedureReturn
Well, 99% of the time I only use the first and last entries, and it would be nice to tap Up to select ProcedureReturn, rather than tapping down past 3 commands I nearly never use. This is just one example of course.

Possible for a future IDE version?

It's a good idea. I have also been annoyed by this. It's such a waste to have up and down do nothing in these edge cases. Either it should wrap around, or close the autocomplete box altogether (and move the caret to the previous or next line accordingly).
