Yeah, I wasn't holding up OpenOffice as a paragon of anything! It's just
that GTG's got a nice keyboard interface for tagging already, so it seemed
like a natural extension of that. I also think that OOo has a much harder
time that GTG would - OOo has a lot more words to choose from and no fixed
trigger. I GTG, you'd only have a known short(-sh) list of words to match
against and a simple trigger - @.

As I said, I think probably Tab or maybe ctrl+Enter would be better for
accepting suggestions, for the reasons Betrand mentioned. I'm agnostic on a
menu - you could easily do both or you could display the menu if the user
pauses typing, or presses the down arrow or something.
