Testing this, it isn't impossible to create the "prefix" tab, but the behavior of the suggestions dropdown is bad:

It auto selects the first suggestion when it shouldn't select any (just display them)
It actually returns the selection on hitting escape instead of closing the suggestions

A work around (if anybody else sees) is to first use the up arrow to unselect the suggestion and then you can type prefix and hit enter as normal.
