Actually, that is not true: you don't need to backspace over anything.
The automatically inserted text is already selected, so if you continue
to type, what you type simply replaces the inserted text. The effect of
this is that as soon as your new text departs from whatever you have
elsewhere in the same column, the behaviour is as if the AutoInput
facility was toggled off anyway.
I'll stand corrected.
Not sure how I got that impression -- it sure *seemed* like it was the case.
And there are other things you can do in this circumstance:
o To accept the offered text but then add to it or edit it, press F2.
o To view alternative completions, press Tab or Shift+Tab to move
forward or backward through the list.
o To view all AutoInput available for the current column, use Ctrl+D.
Then use up-arrow and down-arrow to move through the list or else the
first character of the selected entry to move to and cycle through all
entries with that initial character.
Neat!
Also, the other day I stumbled onto the fact that I can
"right-click->Selection list ..." to achieve the effect
that you describe as the result of ^D.
Thanks again for your patience.
(Yes, I'm collecting all these questions that I raise (and that others
raise, when they're interesting to me) into a private FAQ, so that
(a) I won't have to bug people over and over about them if I forget, and
(b) I can share it with others, wherever the public FAQ is.
