[severity:It bothers me. A fix would be nice]
When using F# editor and when I see IntelliSense prompt I need to press Tab or Enter to accept this prompt. In C# editor I need to press any other key like Space or Dot to accept the same entry. For example after typing:

`open S`

I get prompt 'System' and if I want to open sub-namespace from system it is not enough to type '.', I need to press 'Enter' or "Tab' and then '.'. For C# editor it is faster, simpler and more intuitive because C# editor requires only '.' and automatically expands 'System' prompt.
