autocompleting
Suggesting text ahead
Autocompleting is the act of having software predict and finish what you're typing.
Search engines autocomplete queries, phones autocomplete words, and forms autocomplete addresses.
The feature saves keystrokes but sometimes produces unwanted suggestions: I started typing and autocomplete filled in something embarrassing.
