Help with the "Auto-Type" plugin

Hello,
we are new to ONLYOFFICE and so far liking the office suit which is far better than LibreOffice as we use cross-platform tasks such as MacOS, Android, Windows and Ubuntu. However we are facing some serious nagging issue with the plugin “Auto-Type”.

Most of the members of our studio are from non-English speaking countries a plugin such as “Auto-Type” is a great and handy tool for us to do tasks quicker. Now to state the problem is that, for both “Online” and “Office” office suit from ONLYOFFICE the plugin mentioned before is failing to detect the “down-up” arrow key presses. The plugin page clearly states that the

But as you can see the picture no matter how much we press the down arrow , we can not select or apply the suggested word at the editor. However, we can select the word using mouse which is not convenient.

Do give us some info and if any solution exists for this issue, let us know.

Hello @illu-studio

It has been really long time…
Is there any update/fix/info on this topic ??

Sorry for the delayed response. Currently plugin has a bug that does not allow to navigate through the helper via keyboard, unfortunately. We are already working on it, I will update the thread once issue is resolved.

Please accept my apologies for the inconvenience.

Any update on this issue, not working on latest OO (not on desktop, or on premises). In documentation it is stated that some calls are deprecated, tried changing to updated in config.json, but no change in behavior, same issue. Is this issue of plugin api calls or behind the scenes. Cursors up, down work for instance when pasting text (you get option keep source formatting, keep text and keyborard shortcuts K,T).

Also can it be extended (that is do api plugin calls have possibilty to implement this) in a way like autocomplete works in terminal (it would parse the exsting document make “custom dictionary” and first propose these already present words (this would be much more usefool than dictionary - especially for references, custom repeating text not found in dictionray -names etc.).

Hello @shodr

Unfortunately, I do not have any news on the navigation through the helper with keyboard.

As for the additional suggestion: you can start a new topic with detailed explanation of your idea. That way a report and a suggestion won’t be mixed in a single topic. Thank you for understanding.
