Gnus+bbdb

Gnus+bbdb

[Hadron Quark]

Cant spot a solution in the docs :

If I am composing an email and start typing a "To" address and hit TAB
(or esc tab) so that bbdb provides possibly completions, is there a
keyboard fast select of the completions which open in the bbdb window?
At the moment I have to swap windows and select the correct one with
enter of the mouse.

Hi,

I don't know wether there is a better way. I do it like this:
C-TAB brings me to the BBDB buffer. Then as usual I cylce with the
arrow keys and enter the address with RET

It's no special bbdb function, it's simply the `other-window' switch:

C-TAB runs `other-window'

`other-window' is an interactive built-in function
(other-window COUNT &optional WHICH-FRAMES WHICH-DEVICES)...

oh. I see. I just use C-x o for that : its the having to move into the
other window that I'm trying to avoid if possible.
