Howdy,

I actually prefer something that will stick out like a sore thumb in  
my output so I can tell at a glance that I might have forgotten  
something.

I use the • as a `Tab' marker in my CommandCompletion.txt file and  
also supplied a couple of Applescript Macros that jump between the  
`Tabs' for easier completion fill-in. There is a line in the macros  
that is commented out: if you un-comment it the macros will find \emph 
{and delete} the next/previous `Tab' so you can easily get rid of  
unwanted `Tabs' and clean up the file.

I actually have both versions as separate macros. You can get the  
files from <http://homepage.mac.com/herbs2> as CommandCompletion.zip  
if you want to try it out.

Good Luck,

Herb Schulz
