Description

Something that’s been occurring since v2.3 and specifically the issue #256 is that we’re triggering autocomplete too often. Thankfully we do have the ability to replace the word being typed, but it’s a bit of an awkward interaction. Issues include:

• We’re replacing noun forms where the other form is a valid one (for instance hast in German for du hast Being replaced by Hast that’s also a noun)
• There are cases where there is only one autocomplete option and then the replace happens while the user is typing a common word

To me it seems like we need to expand the autocomplete lexicon to fix the second issue, and for the first issue maybe words that have lower case versions should not be triggering the space autocomplete. Opinions on this would be welcome though!

Would be happy to discuss this with people and figure out how the system can be improved and then work towards updating it :)
