[[this note already exists|]]

we may have to disable autocoplete with | and maybe even # to fix this. Only autocomplete when user hit enter or tab

Will be “fixed” in 0.8.12. Now we only autocomplete with tab or enter

We are going to revert this change in 0.8.14.
Motivations:

  • Users complained
  • It’s harder to handle the standard markdown case.

To handle this case, we ask you to explicitly press esc to close the autosuggestion window.
