Pressing TAB key when when using auto-complete function for adding tags should select top tag not create the tag

Idea

When adding tags to a note using the tag bar at the bottom of a note, auto-complete will respond to the user entering characters by providing a list as expected. Hitting the TAB key, during this process, should select the top tag (with further TAB key hits cycling the results). This is a UI convention. Instead, on hitting TAB Evernote creates the tag if it doesnt already exist.

E.g. I want to add the "annoying" tag. I begin to type "an" and the autocomplete shows me "annoying" and "android" - I press TAB and "an" tag is created.

EN is now essentially a cross-platform app. The Mac and Windows desktop version are pretty much identical except where that is impossible (eg cmd/ctrl/alt etc keys in keyboard shortcuts). A consequence is that UI conventions are no longer always observed because Mac and Windows conventions are sometimes different.

The good news is that (on Windows at least) the enter key rather than the tab key enters the tag currently highlighted on the list. The highlighted tag is nearly always the top one in the list but ocassionally,  and I haven't spotted a pattern yet, it is a different one.

Works on Mac too, thanks.
