Detailed Description

This JTextField is great for inputting text. It offers amazing features, so much so that you will want to use it everywhere... After reading this, you will never use a JTextField again!

As you type, the 10 nearest above, possible Entries are quickly trimmed down, due to prefix search. A typing listener needs to be installed needs to check for enter or backspace...

Features: Autocomplete, Input Hints

TODO: Implement ComboBoxEditor to allow this to be an awesome combobox editor field.
