I consider the text completion in Kate (my favourite editor) an absolute PAIN. Likewise date completion in word processors. Etc etc. If I *don't ask for it*, then I *don't want it*. How many times I have I had the stuff I'm typing corrupted by autocomplete, autocorrect, etc? Far too many!!! And they usually use something like "return" to indicate that I want the change, so if I'm gaily typing away and put this thing at the end of the line, I get the auto-change that I didn't ask for because the editor thinks I did!
Getting the UI on this right is *NOT* easy, and then giving it to a touch typist who has been trained *NOT* to look at the screen is going to cause an awful lot of grief!
Cheers,
Wol
