Navigate save dialog boxes by typing filesystem paths

Too bad filename completion doesn't work.

In Cocoa apps only, but you can complete with the F2 key.

If that doesn't work, you may need to add this to ~/Library/KeyBindings/DefaultKeyBinding.plist:

"\UF705" = "complete:"; /* F2 */

Whaaa?

I don't have a KeyBindings in any of my Library folders, nor do I have a DefaultKeyBindings.plist anywhere on my hard drive. Is there some place I can find it, or should I just make a new file with that line in it?

I didn't have it either. Make a new file with that line in it in the folder indicated; log out. Works for me.

On a related note, what characters are legal instead of F2? Ideally, I could use some kind of "cmd" tab, to be more consistent with the terminal operation.

Or maybe it's DefaultKeyBinding.dict? A google search turns that up
often, but not much shows up for DefaultKeyBinding.plist.

Or maybe they both work?

If you have dev tools installed, see:

open ./Documentation/Cocoa/TasksAndConcepts/
ProgrammingTopics/BasicEventHandling/Tasks/
TextDefaultsAndBindings.html

Sorry, I meant .dict not .plist.

Sigh...
