Description

Originally submitted to Google Code by guy.kisel on 8 Nov 2012

If a project has a lot of tags that are being used repeatedly, it would be nice to be able to type the first few letters of a tag and then autocomplete it. This would reduce mistakes in tags due to typos and speed up the test tagging process.
