Anyway, if my suggestion was realized there is no disadvantage for people who don't like this autocomplete idea. No more RAM is needed and there is no performance lost if you don't use this feature. So what is the bad thing about it?
But that would mean it's like what ctrl+f does, just search for the given string in the window buffer, right? Question is, wouldn't this feature catch not only what people said, but also script and mIRC-related messages, unless some extra processing was done? That could be an irritating inconsistency IMHO.. imagine catching "joins:" everytime, or anything like that. The possibilities are infinite, because you can make mIRC echo anything it's told to.
My main point is: given these situations, I don't think that would help as much as you're saying it would. That said, since it's all about laziness (I know, I'm lazy too), wouldn't be better just to ctrl+f and copy what you want, or just type it anyway?
