 Currently, when you press tab you get the nick after typing some
 characters it autocompletes the rest of the nick as long as there isn't
 multiple solutions. If there is the user has to keep typing until such a
 point where the nick is individual, then they can hit tab to complete the
 rest of the name.

 I was thinking that the user should be able to keep pressing tab to cycle
 through the ring of names.

 Even possibly have it such that you can hit tab to see a list and then
 type the number which corresponds with the person.

 EG: Type B, then press tab, user sees:
 1. Bab
 2. Bob
 3. Bill
 4. Billy

 So the user can just type in 4 and the name Billy will appear.

 Either the keeping pressing tab to get the solution or tab then number
 would be good. Both would be the best :)

 Thanks.
