Auto-completion and shortcuts only work well with languages like English and alike which don't make heavy use of [often irregular] morphology. In many languages the same word could have a hell lots of forms (different endings) depending on the grammatical case and other things[1]. Ordinary autocompletion provides little help when typing these languages. Perhaps GPT-3 could manage but I don't feel like sending everything I type to the cloud monster.
