Bug Description
Feature request.
Suppose the task list looks like this
+ group 1 is not a dumb one
-- nice and easy task A
-- note nice task B
-- task C
+ group 2 for dummies
-- task X
-- task Y
-- task Z
When add a task by typing in the edit field I'd like to see some codecompletion like.
While typing
' d u m'
The completion should show
"group 1 is not a dumb one"
"group 2 for dummies"
Continuing to type
'd u m b'
The completion should ONLY show
"group 1 is not a dumb one"
to accept the proposed GroupName i than have 2 options.
1/ type ':' which will accept the first hit i.e "group 1 is not a dumb one"
2/ press down-arrow (to select the first entry in the suggestion list) and press enter-key
Contining to type
'group 1 is not a dumb one : n -- i -- c --- e"
The completion should show
"nice task A"
"not nice task B"
Continuing to type
'group 1 is not a dumb one : n -- i -- c --- e -- --- a "
The completion should ONLY show
"nice and easy task A"
to accept the proposed TASKNAME i than have 2 options.
1/ type ':' which will accept the first hit i.e "task A"
2/ press down-arrow (to select the first entry in the suggestion list) and press enter-key
net result is that the TASK list actually provides suggestions for my timelog entries

I didn't really know how to use the task pane (I suppose the docs need updating).
I do now and I like it, but autocompletion seemed essential...
So I fixed it... list.
I didn't implement the substring-search described above - just added the tasks to the existing autocompletion-
Patch appended...
