Option to still show autocomplete after autocompletion

[avar]

It's easiest to explain this by example, let's say I've typed "Disco", I'll get the following autocomplete option visible on my screen:

Code: Select all

[Disco][Cisco][Discover][Discount]

I click "Discover", at which point the autocomplete bar shows punctuation suggestions, I'd like it to still show suggestions for words starting with "Discover" as if I had manually typed "Discover" and hadn't used the autocomplete, i.e.:

Code: Select all

[Discover][Discovery][Discovered]

Being able to do multi-step autocomplete like this would be much faster, since if I want to type "Discovered" I could just type "Disco", followed by clicking on "Discover", followed by clicking on "Discovered".

Now I have to either click "Discover" and afterwards type "ed", or just manually type the whole thing.

On my phone, there is an arrow at the right end of the row of autocomplete suggestions. When I tap it, it scrolls through further suggestions. Thus when I type "Disco" and tap the arrow, I get suggestions for Discovery, Discovered, etc., which are available to tap.

Yes, but that's not the feature I'm requesting. I can use that feature perfectly, it's useful when you e.g. type "Stat" and get:

[Stat][Status][State][Station][Stan]...

And want to access further completions like "States", "Stats" and "Standup".

What I'm requesting is that when I click "State" the keyboard should show words that start with "State" as autocomplete options, not the punctuation completions like it currently does.
