Research direction

Start by locating the Vi-mode suggestion-completion handling and the existing right-arrow acceptance path; the issue does not name a file or test. Compare the requested behavior with Fish's use of l, then verify that l accepts the current suggestion only in Vi mode and that the relevant completion behavior is covered by tests.

Description

Basically what the title says.

It makes sense to complete suggestions using the "l" key in Vi mode (in addition to the right arrow key), just like the Fish shell does.

I'm using pgcli which makes use of this library.
