... well, at least /I/ do.

For instance: Since when the bloops does POV-Ray have keyword
completion? (*)

I just hit Ctrl-Space on an incomplete keyword out of pure reflex, only
to find to my utter astonishment that the POV-Ray editor does indeed
answer my request.

Chris must have sneaked that in while I wasn't looking.


(* Answer: Apparently since somewhen before 3.7.0 official release.)

It has been there since Ver 3.5. It was not available in 3.1g which I 
downloaded for the nostalgia.
IIRC Warp mentioned it and I am sure I saw it demonstrated in a  video.

I don't know I just remember someone talking about it and trying it.
There was talk about easter eggs, pre 3.5 but I never found any. Not 
that I looked very hard. :)

It's documented; that's how I learned about these features myself.  Here is the
documentation from version 3.6:

Thanks indeed. Somehow, I totally forgot about this as I recognise some 
features I use on a daily basis... In fact, in all those years, I only 
have had a cursory look at the Editor Preferences' Keyboard tab.
