ctrl + space to display the autocomplete? It does not work for me. The
suggestions are displayed as soon a I type something in the field. If a type a
`i`, it display this instantly
I think that's an issue with your build.
> i find button enablement a subtle clue not an obvious one. (disablement
is an obvious indicator that i cannot proceed but if i'm taken to a screen i
assume i'm supposed to do something there. the obvious button in this screen is
Add configuration which is intimidating.)

phrase provisioning information about your location whether optional or not
isn't clear to me. also it's too general in many cases (because the previous
screen gave a bunch of provisioning information) and wrong in others
(specifying a loginUser is not provisioning information, it's information to
connect to a provisioned machine).

configuration may be supported. Enter any such options here. Autocomplete for
some config options is available using Ctrl-Space. For information on available
options consult the [LINK]Brooklyn docs. Alternatively you can skip this step.
I'll change for your text.
> the docs have evolved, and 5 years ago pre-vagrant even localhost was
common. they should be updated, not this based on that. the menu options in the
docs are better, with "named locations" as the second choice.

increasingly we want to target, who is trying to deploy community blueprints
for use. it is something that an advanced user who is comfortable with ssh
localhost might do max once. clouds, byon, and named/extending otoh are things
people do routinely.

can specify it as a location in a yaml even if it isn't defined as a type. so
i'm not even sure that most users would want to click that ever!)
I then need to know what to do in details.
