You can use tab-completion to select the individual entries. If you have a list
of e.g. these words:

  cloddish
  cold
  cold as charity
  cold-blooded
  coldhearted
  
then you can select the word "cloddish" by typing "cl" <tab> and it will be
completed. Selecting any of the others, you would type "cold" and then use
<space> to cycle among the four possible completions.

I am glad you could use it!
