Little known Mac OS X feature: Word Completion

Ohari Torimoto writes in with a tip he found on Zanneth.com about a somewhat hidden Mac OS X feature, word completion. Ohari says: “Here’s how it works: In most cocoa apps, start typing a word, and hit the Escape-Option keys to enable a pop-up menu with various suggestions to complete the word.” Thanks Ohari!

I don’t know if I’d call this word completion, it’s more of a dictionary really.

Eitherway it is a great tip, thanks!

Apple thinks of everything, what a great idea. this should help me because I suck at spelling

but what i want to know is why this isn’t promoted or advertised more by Apple for such a useful feature why not include it in marketing pitches? does noboyd care?

In TextEdit, you just have to press “Escape”.

Apple Escape on Intel Macs though is the default into front row.
