Dr Frogga (ID: 000000082379a5bd) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 01/13/2023 The idea is good, but it needs some refinement, needing to grab the mouse to select is less efficient, if you type eg "wood" it will suggest words starting with "wood" but if you backspace two characters, then type "od" it will start suggesting words starting with "od" even though you might just be making a spelling correction. The big black box needs to be far more subtle, like in gmail autocomplete.
