Auto-fill function for the summary field in Visual Editor and WikitextEditor 2017
Closed, DuplicatePublic

Description

In the old (wikitext) editor the browser remembers the earlier typed-in texts. This is very useful if you make many similar edits one after the other, because I need only push the down arrow, then the right arrow and ENTER, or click into the field, click on the popped-up text and click on the save (publish) button. This way the process of filling out the summary field and saving the changes is less then a second.

In VE or in the new WikiText Editor the auto-fill function doesn't work and I have to write the summary into the field every singe time, then click the Publish button or push the CTRL+ENTER combination.

Is there a way to let the browser offering the recently typed strings?
