Word completion suggestions

When typing in Calc, words that already exist in the document are suggested
while typing.
Hitting return accepts the suggestion.

This sometimes makes you accept the suggestion unintentionally, as you also use
return to go to the next cell.

WPS Sheets has solved this with a dropdown instead of autocomplete (see
attached screenshot). This way users can choose from multiple suggestions, and
also they don't unintentionally accept a suggestion, since hitting Return just
finishes editing in the current cell and moves to the next.

I suggest to implement a similiar kind of dropdown in LO too.
