Editor auto-complete annoyance
It is very useful to have autocomplete suggestion pop up. However, I find it very frustrating that the only way I have found to have them filled in is by mouse clicking on the list. I am used to being able to hit Tab, or Enter to have the current item selected (in other editors). I can use up and down arrow to select in the list, and I am sure you do have a key that will enter the current selection, but I am damned if I can find out what it is...

Grovel... today Enter works in 4.0 (and in 3.7) and probably in all versions for all time. I must be so conditioned to using Tab (or '(' for function names or '[' for array names) to do this that I got myself muddled... however, I would swear that I had tried Enter (many times).
I do notice that with my screen arrangement (3 different sized screen with the main one having 175% scaling and the others having 100%), if the editor window is on the right (100%) scale screen, the pop-up appears on the main (175%) scaled screen.
This may be a MS problem with differently scaled monitors as I see this effect in other software and in our MFC-based application. I think that the MS code assumes that all monitors have the same scaling...
