[Feature Improvement] More robust keyword autocomplete

[iandol]

Keywords are an essential term for managing references. To maintain consistency, especially as a database grows, autocomplete really helps (p.56 of the user manual). Currently Bookends autocompletes for new references in the Keywords field. But there are a couple of things that I think could be improved:

1. Suggestions seem to just be alphabetical, they are not based on the frequency the keyword was used. I often have to type most of a keyword or do lots of up/down arrowing blind) before the one I use most is displayed.
2. No options are shown. It would be great if autocomplete could visualise all potential matching keywords. This would require some kind of pop-up menu, so may be more work to implement. Finder's tagging UI is a perfect example of how this would ideally work.

3. Maybe this is a bug, but autocomplete never works for me when editing an existing reference. Autocomplete should work both for new and existing refs.

Autocomplete should work with existing reference. The function is triggered after a Return is entered, so in your existing Keywords enter a Return to begin a new keyword and type.

It only seems to work if you only enter new keywords after the existing ones; pressing return within an existing keyword list does not work for me ('sa' should trigger autocomplete):

I most often want to prepend new keywords. I suppose I could append first, then cut and paste but that loses the time advantage of autocomplete...
