"If there is more than one word in the AutoCorrect memory that matches the three letters that you type, press Ctrl+Tab to cycle through the available words. To cycle in the opposite direction, press Ctrl+Shift+Tab." [1]This is a useful feature, but in fact a kind of easter egg, that is probably very unknown. But main problem is, that user doesn't get a hint, if there is more than one words for word completion Example 1. Open new document and make sure, that LO collects words (Tools -> AutoCorrect -> Word Completion -> Collect Words) 2. Type "International" 3. Type in a new paragraph "Internationalization" 4. make sure, that both words have been collected 5. Type in a new paragraph "Int" -> Help Tip "International" appears 6. Ctrl + Tab -> Help Tip "Internationalization" appears Possible solutions: Don't know what is feasible, but perhaps a) different colour, if there is more than one word for word completion b) Help Tip "International, ..." or "International (...)" c) ??? cc: Design-Team for further input and decision [1] https://help.libreoffice.org/7.3/en-GB/text/swriter/guide/word_completion.html?&DbPAR=WRITER&System=WIN
Developers know this feature as code completion, IntelliSense would be a key word. You essentially get a dropdown with the options and navigate through it using the arrow keys. Would that be an improvement?

(In reply to Dieter from comment #2) > This would replace Ctrl+tab, correct? (Shift+) Ctrl+Tab is the default to jump from one tab to another in a tabview. Not so good decision to use it for invisible text alternatives. So yes.
No further input, so let's do it.
