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 :) >________________________________ > From: webmaster-Kracked_P_P <webmas...@krackedpress.com> >To: users@global.libreoffice.org >Sent: Thursday, 6 December 2012, 14:13 >Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Ubuntu Libreoffice > > >here is my "simple" way to help with the typing errors I sometime get.
