Howdy,

Just place the cursor just after the \begin{foo} and press Esc and the \end{foo} will appear on the next line with the cursor in between them.

There is actually much more you can do with Command Completion. E.g., place

\bite

at the beginning of a line and press Esc (this ``trigger'' key can be configured to be Tab rather than Esc in TeXShop->Preferences->Source->Command Completion Triggered By:) to get

\begin{itemize}
\item
•
\end{itemize}•

with the first bullet (called a Mark) selected so when you start to type it is automatically removed. There are commands to jump to the next Mark and select it in the Source->Completion->Marks menu (Ctl-Cmd-F or Opt-Esc [actually Opt-Trigger] will run the Next Mark menu item). Attached is a ``Quick Start Guide to Command Completion in TeXShop'' to get you started.
