Write Screenwriting: SmartType suggestions

SmartType shows a short list of suggestions under the line you are typing, so you do not have to type the same thing twice.

On a Scene Heading it offers INT., EXT. and INT./EXT., then the locations you already used in the script, then times of day such as DAY and NIGHT. On a Character it offers names already in your script, most used first, then endings such as (V.O.) and (O.S.). On a Transition it offers lines such as CUT TO: and FADE IN:.

Use the Up and Down arrow keys to move through the list, then press Return or Tab to take the highlighted one. Press Escape to close the list and keep typing.
