If there are enough merits for my 'suggestion' is an open question.. For some context. This started in the period where LibreOffice did contain bug 119695 Word collection was simply broken. It added so many useless words to the list, which made auto-complete simply a real annoyance. So manual input, instead of auto-collected seemed a better solution. But well more a work around. Core problem was something else -- But well lets target auto-complete in a whole. Some alleged issues from my perspective. And idea to "improve" [subjective] auto-complete, these are only directions Issue A Words in the auto-correct list depend on 8 letters (by default). The 6-7 range sometimes also useful. Except you don't want everything to be auto-added. If set it to 6 the word completion list will be filled words you use less often (or easy to type). Having manual input makes it possible to add words to complete list, which wouldn't be cached by autocomplete. Objection: *well that setting would be buried so deeply in the dialog nobody would make use of it anyhow.. * This isn't matching how auto-complete lists are stored today. Auto-complete lists are generated on document content (and not stored). Or that's my superficial impression [or there are bugs here] Issue B The auto-complete list document based. There is no way to share this across sessions other documents. You are always starting form scratch. Only this user-unfriendly workaround. [https://help.libreoffice.org/7.3/en-US/text/swriter/guide/word_completion_adjust.html?&DbPAR=WRITER&System=WIN] Issue C Autocomplete only allows words which are in the (spellcheck) dictionary. If you diverge, you can't add it. Add well you have 'ignore' and add to 'dictionary'. As long as the word isn't added to the dictionary, this will surely not work. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Libreoffice-ux-advise mailing list Libreoffice-ux-advise@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-ux-advise
