When using a combo-box with autocomplete, like in epiphany, it is not possible
to complete the current entry with the common denominator in the history list,
like this would be expected when using the [tab] key.

For example, if history contains the following:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=231000
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=123456

When typing "http://bugs.de" then [tab], you'd expect to obtain
"http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug="

Maybe 'tab' is not appropriate as being the key to navigate between entries,
but some keybinding to achieve this is needed.
