A suggestion/request for IDEs

I apologize for the slightly off-topic nature, but I thought I'd just 
throw this out there for anyone working on text editors or IDEs with 
auto-completion.

I think it should be a feature, when an item is selected for 
auto-completion in a drop-down box, that pressing the spacebar (in 
addition to tab or enter) will automatically finish the word and add a 
space. This is how Microsoft's new IDEs for .NET work, and I found it 
very helpful to be able to just press space as normal and keep typing. I 
know it sounds minor, but I find it to be a time saver instead of having 
to press tab or enter, and then also the spacebar.

Thanks.
