I just notice I have never in my life used RET there. I always used
TAB and recently C-j

My habit is that RET I consider dangerous or "final choice" so I never
used it to complete. Other completing packages would mess with my data
if I do.

When I hear the beep or see that I am on the end of line, that is where I press RET. Never before.

It is interesting and suprising to see how people use Emacs in different way.
