On non-Mac OS-based systems (Linux, Windows), "End" is moving cursor to the end
of the edit field. It sounds much more intuitive to use "End" for auto-complete
accept rather than "Right" arrow on these platforms. I could make this action
platform-specific, but then decided to keep it simple.

On a more general topic, non-popup-based autocomplete is pretty unique to XCode
and I don't think many web developers find it useful. (much more are familiar
with Eclipse and Visual Studio). So I am thinking of filing a bug to support
popup-based autocomplete.
