Abstract:
Suggestions are automatically displayed in response to an event. For example, suggestions may be automatically displayed in response to a receiving an indication from a user to enter content (e.g. receiving a selection of a content entry area). The suggestions may be displayed before a user enters any characters and before an input device is displayed and/or used (e.g. keyboard, Software Input Panel (SIP), and the like. Suggestions may also be automatically displayed in response to detecting a pause while a user is entering content. For example, when a user is actively entering content, suggestions are not automatically displayed but when a user pauses a predetermined amount while entering content, suggestions are automatically displayed. The suggestions may be determined from content that may be seen on a display and/or hidden from view (e.g. hidden rows in a spreadsheet).
