Hmmm, that's a very good idea. If often find myself typing extra characters
for that reason. Can you raise an ER and I'll take a look at it. Any comment
on the way you think it should work would be useful e.g. an accelerator key
to skip the common part, or should the common part be inserted as selected
text that can then be skipped over (accepted) with the appropriate cursor
key command or removed (cancelled) by pressing another character key.
