I am fine if you have Issues with switching the AutoInput off. But then
we should talk on a proper solution.
Independent of the actual code situation. Maybe if we describe clear
where OpenOffice should move, create work packages, we can handle changes.
So I would like to try this on this approach.

1) There is no way that you can confirm the entry without accepting the
autoInput. So you quickly make errors as unexperienced user.
As long as you keep typing you don't need to delete anything, unless your new
string is a subset of a previous string. That is possibly a corner case.
Can you post the Bugzilla link?
This is a possible pro argument, in favour of the argument.
2) Excel does not offer AutoInput that fast as OpenOffice does. And we
have a Bug that isd confirmed that AutoInput should not work on numbers.
That is not correct. Just tested with Excel 2016. It is exactly the same.
I can't replicate the problem with numbers (at least under Windows 7 x64). Can
you post the Bugzilla link?

3) We have another Bug that complains that the Autoinput can change
small letters to Capletters. I could repeat it with Super and super.
That is a separate issue related to Autocorrect. Autoinput only replicates
previous strings

Probably it is smart to work with the suggestion list too. So popping
the suggestion list and filter then the list with the entry. If you
press enter you accept the suggestion if you press down button you
accept the cell entry.
That sounds like a useful solution. Does anyone have the knowledge and time to
code that?
In the past we had this you had to confirm with tap. Bugzillalink, that
complains it does not lead to cell travel:
https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=18748
Complaint to use tab as confirmation:
https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=81213
So we have 3 accepted Bugs that we will maybe not solve fast. This gives
a reasoning for switching AutoInput off untill it is fixed.
As I mentioned before this is also the default behaviour in the other
spreadsheets. Turning off the default (to solve 2 possible smaller issues) will
make more users unhappy.
This Bug concerns more about AutoComplete:
https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=34417
but comment 6 is on AutoInput
Another complains on AutoInput / Complete for makeing it easier to
switch it off:
https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=52054
And here is one that Complains that the scan range is not great enough:
https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=89016
And this one complains over what should be offered:
https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=126113
Maybe following Ideas, roughly noted are the direction we should think?
(number is for easier reference)
1) the AutoInput selects the closest entry from the selection List
2) we pop the selection List at typing and mark the AutoSelect
3) We add a key that confirms an entry without accepting AutoInput
4) We show the Keys as Overlays at the options selected
5) we add the switch to switch AutoIntend off in the Popup
6) we move the Popup into the sidebar.
Other Ideas are welcome. I also tried to divide to move the steps into
smaller pieces.
From technical perspective it will be that more steps are necessary.
But I need to do a code analysis for that.
And I would like to know the User View first.
