Hello everyone,
Auto-completion of text is marvelous, but I have to decide each time whether it is worth the trouble to reach all the way up to esc. For me, this requires taking my left hand off the keyboard. I wanted to remap caps lock to esc but have not been able to find this anywhere. (Do any of you know how to do this?) I have worked out a little fix that approximates this ideal.
1. Remap caps lock to ctrl via System Preference -> Keyboard & Mouse -> Keyboard -> Modifier Keys.
2. In Quicksilver, make a trigger to activate Next Completion from the TextMate Menu. (Current Application (tab) Show Menu Items (enter) and type Next Completion). I use control-A for my trigger so the hand motion is minimal. (Be sure to hit caps lock before A, though!)
For this to work, be sure to turn on Proxy Objects under Quicksilver -
Preferences -> Catalog, as well as Enable Advanced Features
under Preferences -> Application.
Now auto-complete to your heart's content!

Why not use a Macro? I think it might be faster than QS.
In my setup, I have nextCompletion: bound to Command + Space and previousCompletion: bound to Option + Command + Space.
I had to disable those for Spotlight, but I'd rather use QS to build Spotlight queries...
Just my 0.02

I'm planning to someday turn my right ⌘ key into an ⎋ key. I've been too lazy so far to figure out how though.

Check Ukelele[1], it probably does that without too much hassle...

Yes, [I know about][2] Ukelele. No, it doesn't do that with any amount of hassle.
