How do you accept Visio's Suggested field values from auto-helper drop-down.

[djc664]

I'm back in making custom Visio icons after a few years away, and I've evidently forgotten the keyboard shortcut to accept the "type ahead" code suggestions while trying to write a Custom Formula. I arrow down, but for the life of me I cannot remember what (or even IF) there's a keyboard command for accepting the value and ENTERING it on the line for me.

Example is attached of what and where I mean. Everything I'm used to in other IDEs either do nothing, just type spaces, or give me an Error In Formula when combos with Enter are used.

Can anyone help? I've been searching the internet and these forums for the better part of an hour trying to find the answer, and I feel like I'm in crazy-town and clicking on the values are not faster than just typing everything out... HALP, Please!

I always use the mouse to make a selection in cases like this.

Well, at least I find myself in your excellent company, good sir.

Really hoping someone else knows the keyboard magic and that there is some. Being shown a dropdown and not being able to select a value from it with the keyboard isn't very accessible either. I need that 508 compliance in my life!

Greetings from Russia !
Your goal is to insert many similar formulas that differ by the number of the figure ? If so, you can use MS Excel for concatinate formulas...

The tab key will enter the highlighted formula.

I knew when the answer became clear I was going to slap my forehead.

Thank you so much for the answer! I got too-used to the CTRL+ something or spacebar / Enter options, it appears.

Cheers!
