This may seem trivial, but it can save time when typing. When Craig is demoing code complete, he does something when selecting the option he wants that places his cursor within the parentheses that are generated by the code complete option.
I haven't watched the full video so I apologize if he answers this later, but it's just really bothering me.

It's actually not something that Craig is doing (Though sometimes he's real quick with the arrow keys). This is a feature of the IDE's auto-complete function. So, it will matter on which IDE your using.
As for the cursor being placed within the parenthesis, I believe that when you hit enter on the auto-complete, if param(s) are 'mandatory' the cursor will go there, but if the param(s) are optional or not needed, the cursor gets placed outside.
Could you link a particular video with an example?
Keep Coding! :)
