Yet a third method is to put the cursor in the most detailed place field
that you are entering, then press F2. This brings up the entire list of
places that have an entry in that place field, and selecting the correct
one (typing the first few letters moves you quickly to what you want)
will fill in that field and all the others associated with it. This is
quicker and more reliable than F3 when you have multiple place fields to
fill in. Another tip - disable the prompt that asks whether you really
want to look at the list after you press F2.
