I recently enabled AutoComplete, but can't work out how to accept the
suggestions without using the mouse. Any ideas?

TIA,

Hit the Down Arrow key once to bring up the suggestions,
and again until you reach your choice. Then ENTER.

Thanks for that (thought in fact I stumbled upon the answer soon after
I posted the question!). For filling in forms, I prefer TAB to ENTER,
as that takes you straight to the next field.

Thanks again,
