Description Sven Herzberg 2006-04-16 14:50:04 UTC 
Gnumeric could provide the cell text completion by using GTK+'s GtkEntryCompletion structures, this way completion can provide more than one solution, which can be very useful if working with longer labels that have the same start (eg. "GUI - Editor", "GUI - Toolbars").

Using GtkEntryCompletion would result in possible completion suggestions in the expression entry widget.

Hmm...  I'm sure we can do better than what we currently do, but I am less
sure GtkEntryCompletion is part of the solution.  The way completion works
in GtkFileChooser is an unmitigated dissaster.

I think it is clear that we will not be using GtkEntryCompletion...WONTFIX. 

If there are any features you would like to see (a question different from which technology is used) please refile.
