--- Comment #2 from Richard Neill <[email protected]> --- Ctrl-Tab does help a bit, but it's much more awkward than a smarter auto-complete. It needs 2 extra keystrokes (which aren't easy to type fast), and then we may have to Ctrl-tab multiple times. Furthermore, it's a non-discoverable and less-intuitive way to work. There is one extra refinement needed - in that we aren't always appending data at the bottom of a column; sometimes we insert in the middle or at the top. (1) Current algorithm is: Scan from top of column for match, accept the first one. (2) Improved algorithm. Scan outward (up + down) from the current cell for a match, accept the nearest one. (3) Optimised algorithm: Scan the entire column and count matches. Accept the most popular match. Given that (3) may be harder to write, and possibly worse at runtime, I think that (2) would suffice - it should be easy to write, and would catch most of the common cases. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
