Uh, Doug -- that is _exactly_ the way Microsoft Excel implements Auto Input
completion, by the active columns. Except MS screws it up and the Auto Input
breaks when there are empty cells intervening on the column--the column cells
have to be contiguous to continue Auto Input from above cells.

Don't know that I'd go that far--there were some pretty functional things
worked out to implement an ODF compliant office suite for OpenOffice. And, most
of us respect that legacy--moving LibreOffice forward in ways that make sense.

Frankly conflating a Calc spreadsheet field input aid--AutoInput-- with our
general autocorrection mechanism (which handles string replacements and now
Emoji entry) would not make much sense.
