How to use editor: accept partial edit prediction together with subtle mode

[ddbrierton]

If I change the display mode for edit prediction to subtle, then there seems to be no way to accept partial edit prediction, or I can't figure out how to do it. It seems that in subtle mode you can only accept the whole prediction or reject the whole thing.

I find this problematic because often the prediction is an entire block of code, of which maybe only the first line or so is actually what I want. So in order to be able to accept partial predictions I have to use eager display mode instead, which I find very intrusive.

Even in eager mode, accept partial edit prediction often is unsatisfying. Say the prediction is a block of code, and I want to accept the opening of that block plus the beginning of the next line. If I do that with cmd-ctrl-right and continue typing I would expect the completion to at least close any brackets/parens etc which had been opened by selecting the partial completion but that doesn't happen.

Perhaps I am missing something obvious here?
