Add an option to prevent using Enter to select completions

When a typed method name is matched exactly with suggestion’s, I have a “press Enter twice or click away or press space” overhead for any linter suggestion. I understand the linter suggestion also includes a docstring excerpt, or that a ‘complete’ method name can be another method name’s substring, but my request can be handled as follows:

• If typed method matches any linter suggestion exactly, then automatically [Enter] the suggestion upon typing, without consuming the next keystroke - unless the input extends a method’s name (i.e. is alphanumeric or underscore)
• So, if I type .stem and Enter, I should newline (the Enter isn’t consumed by the linter)
• Can make this a configurable so current behavior remains an option

The easiest thing to do here is to give an option to have enter not complete it ever. I would activate that as I always use tab to complete.

My only complaint about @OverLordGoldDragon is the difficulty in explaining the option in the preferences, while disabling enter is pretty easy(and covers the use case if you are into ‘tab’).

• Enter accepts code completions. (# Checked by default)

This could go along with disabling “tab” #12682.

As an aside tab will start a completion and accept it but you can’t accept the completion with ctrl+space or whatever you set the completion hotkey too. This would be quite important if you disabled ‘tab’ and ‘enter’ 😃

We’ll take a look at this for 4.2.0.
