I believe the issue is that LDAP books are *not* flagged as expensive, when they certainly should be! You can turn off auto-completion in Settings: Address Books: Modify, but that turns off both auto-completion and user-requested completion (ctrl+R).

Thanks for the patch, which solved the delay problem. User-requested completion still doesn't work. (Or it isn't bound to Ctrl+R or Ctrl+r.)

I don't mind looking in the code, but I cannot tell where or how that key sequence would be bound to a function. It doesn't appear to have a presence in any menu.

I'd never noticed that turning off format=flowed disables ctrl+R /both/ for reflowing text /and/ for manual address-completion--that's just nasty !-)

Escape might be a better key for manual completion. You already have to use it to clear the popup list when you want to move on without selecting a completion, so using it to toggle the popup would be a minor change in functionality. Apparently no address books have been marked as expensive in recent versions, so nobody should be wedded to ctrl+R!

Comments?
