Screen captures for "FromUserTyping" and "FromClipboard"

In this use case there are over 2,200 User Fields (UFs) in the Text Document
and growing larger every day.  I would be very grateful for the following
improvement to the GUI for User Fields. 
When the user clears the Field Name box and then starts typing a User Field
name, perform type-ahead synchronization within the Selection box.  See
attached sequence of screen mimicking the feature.  I do know that if focus is
given to the Selection box a letter or two can be quickly type to position the
Selection list.  One or two letter is not enough for a list of ~2,200 User
Fields.
In parallel with the type-ahead would be the ability to paste from the clip
board a User Field name and have the Selection box, Value, check icon and x
icon be in synch.  See the last two screen captures for a sequence of screen
mimicking the feature.
