Auto-complete words with the Escape key
Wednesday, February 22nd, 2006Here’s an interesting thing that I stumbled across tonight by pressing the wrong key.
In Mail.app hitting the Escape key pops up an autocomplete dialog.
Arrow down to the word you want, hit Return or Tab, and you have saved your fingers a few keystrokes.
This works in TextEdit, ecto and Yojimbo as well, but not in BBEdit, Mellel or Safari. There will be some obvious pattern here that I haven’t worked out yet.
