Description: Make Calc's autoinput behave like autocompletion in Bash. Refer the section "Calc auto-complete behavior changes" in https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2021-October/087911.html for context. Steps to Reproduce: Consider an example of the following data in a column: ABCD123xyz ABCD345qwel ABCD123pqr ABCD123xyz PQR Currently on master, if the user types A in an empty cell in the same column it does not show any suggestion and the only way to enter the text "ABCD123pqr" using autocomplete is to type "ABCD123p". Actual Results: Currently on master, if the user types A in an empty cell in the same column it does not show any suggestion and the only way to enter the text "ABCD123pqr" using autocomplete is to type "ABCD123p". Expected Results: If the user types A it should show the partial completion BCD (common prefix). If the user accepts that types 1 it should show the next partial suggestion 23. If the user accepts again and types p it should show the final completion of qr.

The Calc's autoinput function is great, but it can be a little frustrating to get it to do what you want. This post will teach you how to use the shell and its autocompletion https://bestwritingsclues.com/reviews/papernow-review/ features, so that you can make your life easier with autoinput!

Is it possible to switch between old and new auto-completion behaviour? Because this new behaviour is worse for me.
