We don't have that, but it's great idea. Adding as a wish to bugs.kde.org :) FYI. Kexi's implementation would be completely separate one (maybe except completion algorithm what is a few lines of code anyway) because there are data privacy concerns in multiuser access and the storage is often client-server if not distributed. Kexi has also separate tabular view and forms, so at GUI level there's also little to share. -- regards / pozdrawiam, Jaroslaw Staniek Kexi & Calligra & KDE | http://calligra.org/kexi | http://kde.org Qt Certified Specialist | http://qt-project.org http://www.linkedin.com/in/jstaniek _______________________________________________ calligra-devel mailing list calligra-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/calligra-devel
