There are keyloggers targeted to specific fields too. It depends on what vulnerability is being exploited to install a keylogger.

I think the description of autocomplete as a keylogger is a good fit from the security perspective.

No, as a keylogger is the term for a malware to capture ALL your keystrokes in secret (to usually later fish out the interesting ones like passwords). It is misleading, to mix it up with a software, that captures your textinput from a textfield, even though it is not communicated clearly to the average user that his text goes to a server.
