"Wikipedia babel fish" is quite a lot to type. You can save some wear and tear on your fingers by letting Ubiquity's suggestion list do the work for you. As you saw in the last section, bringing up Ubiquity and typing only "w" presents you with suggestions of all the commands that start with that letter: namely, Wikipedia and Weatherhave "w" in them.

When you add the letter "i", the suggestion list narrows down to just the one command that starts with suggestions containing "wi"—"Wikipedia". At this point, you You can hit use the space bar and type the rest of your sentence, and tab key to auto-complete a command so that Ubiquity will know that the verb stops guessing what you want to use is "wikipedia". So issuing "Try typing wi babel fish" is the exact same thing as issuing , then tab, then "wikipedia babel fish".

You can also use the arrow keys to select the command you want. Let's try another example. Suppose say you want to know what the weather is like in Chicagoupdate your Twitter status. Try issuing Summon Ubiquity and type "w chicagot".

But that's not what we want right now, so hit I use the <b>down arrow key</b> instead, to highlight the second suggestionselect it: "weather chicago"

You can now see a preview of the weather forecast for Chicago. Hit return to go to the full weather report page on Wunderground.com[[image:twitter. png]]

Of courseAnd then tab to auto-complete "twitter", and type in my status update. [[image:update.png]] You can see a preview of what your status will be updated to, and how many characters you could have just issued left. You also can type "we chicagoas username"to specify which twitter account you want to use, or even "we 60601" (but that's a Chicago zip code) to get optional. Ubiquity also guesses right most of the time if you give it the first few letters of the same resultscommand you want. So "tw updating my status with Ubiquity" would work too.
