This would be similar to the way auto complete works in *xcel.

Holding down the Alt and down-arrow key reveals a sorted list of input typed into \
other connected cells in the same column. If the characters in the current cell match \
an item in the list then this item is automatically selected as the center of the \
list. Using the up-down arrows it is possible to scroll through the list.

This is a very powerful and useful feature of *xcel and makes the boring task of data \
entry and retyping common data much easier and faster.

Also if the autocomplete data selection can be restriced to the current column then \
it becomes much more useful and easier to use.
