Yes Precisely, I missed it. It is a list of words on the command line. But in the usability perspective, user has to shift his eye focus away from the word he is typing to the left hand top corner of screen(in to the command line list). This i think is not usability friendly. We can see some of the usability analysis on UI products mentioned here: http://www.useit.com Can we not have a beautiful omni complete feature here, instead of this long list. I agree it is typing friendly, lesser number of key strokes. Can we not have a pop-up that opens up just besides the erratic word. Just putting my views and ideas here. Thanks for reading it. regards, Srini...
