fix(views): align command bar selection previews - #53
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe Command Bar now uses native inline completion instead of a ghost label. It adds explicit selection previews, keyboard acceptance and rejection, suppression of stale results, preview-aware submission, lifecycle resets, browser coverage, and updated documentation. ChangesCommand Bar completion behavior
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to For Ask AI and exact-search rows, accepting a preview that matches the typed text can clear the highlighted choice and trigger an unnecessary autocomplete refresh without changing the input. The PR is otherwise mergeable with explicit owner follow-up on this bounded interaction issue and the affected test assertion. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Restore the Risk column value in this row.
The table header defines five columns: ✔, Feature, Patch(es) / Source, Risk, Verify after upgrade. Rows 93 and 94 place a risk marker (🔴) in the fourth cell. This row places the test-name list there, so the row has no risk value and the test list renders under the Risk heading. Add the risk marker and move the test list into the verification cell.
As per coding guidelines: "Update docs/feature-checklist.md when adding or materially changing a feature on either platform."

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Skip acceptance when the preview equals the typed input.
GetSelectionPreviewText returns user_input_text_ for the Ask AI row and for an exact-search match. In that state AcceptSelectionPreview calls FillInput(user_input_text_), which restarts autocomplete, resets selected_index_ to -1, and clears selection_explicitly_changed_. The visible text does not change, so Right Arrow or Tab on those rows drops the row highlight and triggers an extra autocomplete request.
🔧 Proposed fix
void DaoCommandBarView::AcceptSelectionPreview() {
if (!selection_preview_active_) {
return;
}
const std::u16string accepted_text = selection_preview_text_;
+ if (accepted_text == user_input_text_) {
+ // The preview mirrors the typed query (Ask AI row, exact search row).
+ // Accepting it would only restart autocomplete and drop the highlight.
+ return;
+ }
FillInput(accepted_text);

Background
The command bar mixed automatic selection, inline completion, and explicit keyboard preview behavior. That could make suggestion text appear in the input before the user accepted it, and Backspace or Enter could act on the wrong text.
Changes
Testing
Patch adds and updates DaoCommandBarBrowserTest coverage for selection previews, inline completion selection, Backspace rejection, Tab/Right acceptance, Ask AI submission, and Enter behavior.
