Quicker choice of desired ubiquity verb
"Ctrl-Space s" and you see a list of verbs starting with s. If you use the cursor key to move down to the one you want, and then hit space to continue typing, it will jump back to the first choice of the s list, which is unintuitive. How am I supposed to pick my choice?
Ideally, when I hit s and scroll down to my choice of verb, the s should automatically be extended to the full verb, with a space behind it, so that I can continue typing.

Inappropriate?You don't need to select your choice before you keep typing - type s [input] and then go down to your choice. ^^
Edit: Although yeah, it's a bit counter intuitive. -
Inappropriate?Auto completion!

Inappropriate?As Blipo says, the best way to use ubiquity currently is to type letters of the command name until you see the command name in the suggestion list, then hit space and type your arguments, and once you're done with the arguments arrow key down to the correct suggestion if neccessary.
But yeah, this feels weird if you're used to the way autocomplete works in other software.
We're not using the tab key for anything yet, so I think we can add a feature where hitting tab will copy the text of the currently hilighted suggestion up to the input box. That ought to work, right? I think we actually had this feature in an early prototype but it got left out somehow.
I’m silly

Inappropriate?Using the tab key would definitely be useful, especially if repeated tabs cycled through all the possible completions.
But another quick fix would be that after "s<crsr><space>" the second option should stay selected rather than reverting back to the first.</space></crsr>
