I can see that there might be times that this could be handy but there might be a danger in entering a great number of actions in a web interface before saving them (see https://www.assembla.com/spaces/tracks-tickets/tickets/907-Automatic-refresh-may-destroy-ongoing-edit), or complexity in creating some kind of background save.
My spontaneous reaction is that it may be better to streamline the existing input form instead. E.g. being able to drop down the auto completion fields with the down arrow key or a mouse click, and display the contents in recently used order. Key combinations for jumping to fields may be another way to speed up entry for the expert user without encumbering the GUI too much.
