What issue are you seeing?

Tab and Enter keys works identically

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Int interactive mode start @file fuzzy search. Select some folder/file. Both Tab and Enter works identically - they close fuzzy search, remove @ from filename, add space.

What is the expected behavior?

As for now Enter key works as expected: it should end selection of target file.

But Tab is different story: it should autocomplete folder/file name and continue selection. So, after selection some folder/file in picker list, pressing Tab should insert it's full path into input box, but remain @ symbol and let picker be open with selected file.

Tab key should autocomplete filename based on selected one!
