Re: [libreoffice-users] Ubuntu Libreoffice

Hi :)
Ahhh, tabbed auto-complete is really helpful.  


On a unix-based command-line, so that's any Gnu&Linux just start typing a command or pathname or 
file-name and after about 2 or 3 characters press the tab key.  It then lists all the relevant 
things that start with those 2 or 3 characters and copies everything you have typed so far onto a 
new line so that you can ignore all the suggestions and carry on typing if you want.  If there is 
only 1 suggestion then it just fills in all the rest for you.  Errr, i dunno how to select say the 
5th option except by using the mouse to copy&paste.  The keyboard short-cut for paste doesn't work 
but mouse paste is always good :)  

Regards from
Tom :)
