KM8: autocomplete variable names acting weird

[JMichaelTX]

@kvanh

I'm converting a subroutine macro I have to use Instance variables instead of global variables. Pretty much just going down the macro pasting Instance[space] in front of the macro names.

Some thoughts:

• Local/Instance Variables are still in a state of flux.
• Peter has removed the initial single-letter prefix, but we've suggested some replacement.
• In Ver 8.0 they did NOT work in Prompt User actions
• So, other than testing, I would not make any changes to production macros until things settle down.
• I also dislike the way autocomplete works. It generally gets in my way.
  • So I have turned it off using this:
    defaults write com.stairways.keyboardmaestro.editor AutomaticCompletion -bool NO

I personally strongly dislike spaces in variable names, and have suggested "Local__" and "Instance__" instead, or at least in addition to. But even then I'll probably wait until we have the single-letter prefixes fully working.
