prefix completion
Description
Changes the behaviour of the matched items and the Tab key.
- Only items prefixed by the written text will match. E.g. query "foo" will match "foo", "foobar" and "fool", but not "world" or "barfoo".
- The Tab key will replace the current query with the longest common prefix of all matches. E.g. completing "f" with matches "foobar" and "fool" will become "foo".
The -flag variant adds a use_prefix setting and -x flag; useful if you
only want some instances of dmenu to do prefix matching.
