Er... that happens all the time: various word processors, text messaging, etc. Even Google's autocomplete (which is a rare example of autocomplete being really good) is essentially this.
- seanmcdirmid 7y agoYa, I should have written it differently. These aren’t the same things, really. One is about discoverability and the other is about handling input method deficiency. I remember auto completion being really great when using T9 to text on old Nokia handsets, but not because I didn’t know what words I could write. The right word for that would be code completion or more specific brandings of intellisense, which is completely different from things like T9.
