It is suggested that the function is different though. If the differentiation is between Gate and Trigger, then that is already apparent by using that particular term in the title of the function (Auto Fill-In Gate vs Auto Fill-In Trigger, or maybe we should go for Auto Gate on Note and Auto Trigger on Note ?).
My assumption is that we're missing some major difference in the functionality, but I need to check to make sure as the doc doesn't indicate something additional to what we're discussing.
I’ve been away from sequencing for a while but unless I am misremembering: the key naming distinction is not trigger versus gate, it is that of modifying the pattern data versus not.
Auto Fill-In Trigger adds an entry to the trigger column whenever you set a note. Literally fills it in.
Auto Gate on Note automatically outputs a gate for each note (IIRC, just for the ones without their own trigger/gate information,) during playback, without changing pattern data during editing.
Given the existing pattern of naming and behaviour, a hypothetical function Auto Trigger on Note would behave differently than Auto Fill-In Trigger, just as would something like Auto Fill-In Gate compared to Auto Gate on Note.
