I think I'm with you in that I like autocomplete but I want to ask for it; prompting feels too busy.

- hoosieree 5y agoAgreed! Always-on autocomplete feels like the editor equivalent of someone asking "are we there yet?" every few seconds during a road trip.
- dllthomas 5y agoJust today I had the following interaction with Outlook's web interface: Me: I want to type "Hi Andrew," Outlook's autocomplete: I see an <H>, I see an <i>... Oh, oh, I know this one! Do you want me to autocomplete "Hi" for you? <space>? You do! I'm helping! and I'm left getting two characters out of my three key presses in a frustratingly unexpected way.
