The report was supposed to be about not being able to reject the AutoInput suggestion. The current available method is [DEL] or [BACKSPACE]. Currently [ESC] cancels the edition (with or without a suggestion). Then the issue seemed to move to "I'd rather have [ESC] do that", which would mean that the current action for [ESC] would require an additional key press, while there are already other 2 available keys that achieve the desired result. Now we are moving to not automatically accepting the AutoInput suggestion, but rather automatically rejecting it unless manually accepted. I guess this is similar to when Calc suggests possible functions when typing-in; the user has to "accept" one of the suggestions (e.g. by typing the opening bracket for the function, or by [ENTER]), or press [CTRL]+[TAB] to change to the next suggested function. While I can understand the concept (although I'm not sure which key(s) would _accept_ the suggestion, under such logic), I suspect that such change will not be OK with users that want to easily type repeating values in the same column. This means that, in order to have the flexibility that users expect from a spreadsheet tool, the AutoInput feature would have to include some kind of option, so the user would select whether to automatically accept the suggestion (by [ENTER]), or instead to automatically reject the suggestion (by [ENTER]). I admit I don't recall whether such option already exists somewhere. I would argue that maybe a keyboard shortcut that allows to set the AutoInput OFF or ON during cell's edition should allow the desired behavior. The AutoInput feature is already available in menu Tools > Customize > Keyboard (corresponding to command .uno:AutoComplete). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
