--- Comment #14 from SY <[email protected]> --- (In reply to ady from comment #11) 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. Using enter to accept the suggestion would be manually, not automatically accepting it. I think that both the ENTER and TAB should accept the suggestion and canceling edit mode in any way should automatically reject it. I don't see how this negatively impacts users who want to quickly enter the same values into cells, as you're already using either ENTER or TAB to navigate to the next cell; but sure, making it configurable is always best. The core issue is that the current behavior is non-standard (this is the only auto-complete feature I know of that auto-accepts suggestions like this) and obtrusive (it forces suggestions on the user unless they manually delete them). It seems obvious to me that this was implemented this way not as a deliberate design choice, but rather out of convenience - it's a lot easier to implement an auto-complete that just types out the suggestion and selects that text (so the user can manually delete it) than it is to implement a proper system that gives suggestions and allows the user to accept them, inputting that text. Ultimately I think the system should be reworked to bring it up to par with competing software and add features like selecting from a list of suggestions and the ability to edit the suggestions list and what kinds of things can be added to that list. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
