Brilliant discovery! Thanks for sharing that. It seems like a little tip, but for round-the-clock Mac users like me, this tip can save time, and save wear & tear on my poor, tired hands. Thanks!

Great hint. Actually, you can select a file in a save as dialog. Selecting a file (even one that's grayed out) changes the save as name to the selected file.
