- Do you know about the Ctrl-0 (that's zero) shortcut? When
- you type that keystroke sequence, the area in the very bottom
- right corner of the window starts echoing your
- keystrokes as you try to find an approximate match to the
- variable name. Once you've typed a couple of characters and
- have an initial match, you can also use the up and down arrows
- to move backwards and forwards through the alphabetized list
- of variable names.
