Hi kmymoney developers,

I like the feature of listing all similar words while typing e.g. in the payee field. But there is one behavior that I don't get used to. 

For example I have a shop "Spar" where I buy quite a lot. Then there exist similar shops like "Eurospar", "Interspar", ... 
Now when I type Spar, I always have to scroll down and select "Spar" manually because the Cursor points to the first Item in the list.

Now what I would propose is to keep the list as it is and simply place the cursor on the first word beginning with that exact phrase. 

Hope, I described clear enough. ;)

thanks, Stefan :)
