Updated for Anki 2.1.
This add-on enhances the Add Card screen with autocomplete functionality. Just start typing and if an existing card has a value that matches what you’ve typed, it will be displayed inline in the editor for you. From there you can click the value to quickly set the field.
The autocomplete search will only search the exact note type and field that you’re typing into (so you won’t get results from other note types or even other fields in the same note). The search also only does prefix matching, like most other autocompletes.
Thanks to acecodes and clantant for implementing support for Anki 2.1 and for maintaining a 2.1-compatible version of this add-on.
The code is hosted on GitHub. Pull requests and issues most welcome!

Wonderful add-on!
But is not working anymore for me since Anki 2.1.22 was released, and it is causing errors. I posted it in Github. Thanks, anyway!

Spares you a lot of time. Made my list of crucial addons.

Useful for making cards inside Anki Editor; though not much of use if you made the cards in another software (which I think is better). But it could came in handy!

How to use keys to complete field? Excellent add-on! Anyone know how you can use keys instead of mouse clicks to put the auto-filled result in the field? Thanks!

Modified ‘whitelist’ version of the add-on First of all: Fantastic work on the add-on! It has made the card creation process much easier for me.
To address one of the previous reviewer’s points concerning ‘AutocompleteFields’: I have created a modified version of the add-on that follows the whitelist approach (https://github.com/Glutanimate/anki-addons-misc/blob/master/anki-editor-autocomplete-whitelist.py). Instead of auto-completing all fields by default this implementation of the add-on wi

Good job! It’s a pretty nice addon, haven’t had it for a long time but I’m glad I do now :)
But what happened to the frozen field addon? I can’t access its page to download it T^T

How to disable for different fields? I saw there is an option to stop autocomplete for several fields in the code. Anyhow i wasnt able to get it to work. Which ‘name’ of a field is needed to be put in the [ ] and how are different fields seperated.
Could anyone please explain?

Great add-on! It is a very useful add-on. Thanks! I have two suggestions:
-
Change ‘noAutocompleteFields’ to ‘AutocompleteFields’ (or make it an option, because in my case there are too many fields to deactivate and only 2 fields should be using auto-completion).
-
(Check for duplicates) Provide an option to display X (defined by an user) first sorted matches, instead of just one, during type-and-search operation. E,g, ResultsNumber = 4 or ResultsNumber = 1 (as it is now).
Example:
