I just found out how comfortable the autocompletion in OpenOffice /

StarOffice works. With some small adjustments this must be great

feauture for RV.

The trick is that it records all the words you type,

and after entering 3 letters, it suggests the complete word.

(the rest of the word is added and selected, so if you type something

different it'll disappear, ENTER, fills in the word)

The improvements I see:

- the first suggestion should not be the first word in order that

matches, but the last word you either used as completion or entered as a

new word. Maybe some small statistics would be even better.

- the ctrl-tab is not such a handy way of stepping through the list,

don't know which key-combination it should be.

Has anyone already done such a kind of autocompletion in RichView ?

thanks,
