Add an option for persistent autocomplete window visibility

Recently, I bought a 60 percent keyboard, and one of the biggest differences from my old keyboard is that it doesn’t have arrow keys. I managed to remap my keys and set up custom shortcuts so that holding down the CTRL key and pressing W, A, S, or D results in arrow key outputs.

However, another problem arises: Roblox Studio’s autocomplete window instantly vanishes when you press keys such as CTRL, Alt, Win, etc. Meaning that I cannot navigate through the autocomplete window with my keyboard.

So, in cases similar to mine, it would be great if there were an option for a persistent autocomplete window. When enabled, the autocomplete window would not vanish upon pressing non-letter keys, such as those mentioned above.


Recommendations

Either a standalone Boolean option or a multi-choice option would be great. For example:

A Boolean option:

Persistent Autocomplete Window
Default: false;

Or a multi-choice option:

Autocomplete Window Visibility
Either: Persistent, Regular and more potentially.

Persistent

Autocomplete window does not vanish upon pressing a non-letter key unless ESC is pressed or there are no autocomplete options available.

Regular

Autocomplete window is visible while autocomplete options are available until a non-letter key is pressed or there is no autocomplete recommendations.


With the multi-choice option, there could potentially be more options in the future, for example:

Sensitive

Autocomplete window vanishes after the couple first character inputs.
