I was watching a video on retopology and saw the uploader extrude a mesh face in a way that I've not seen before. He's in edit-vertex mode and has a partly completed mesh with an L-shaped bend along its edge. He then selects the vertex on the inside corner of the L and then appears to click somewhere further out - and this causes an entire face to be created:

I've been reading through the docs, but can't figure out what key I need to press to do this. Does anyone know how to do this?

Looks like blender has an addon called 'f2' mode. Enable it, and then you can create this sort of quad just by pressing F.

As he is saying in the video, it's the effect of an add-on called Mesh F2, coming with the standard Blender bundle. To use it you must go to "user preferences" - "Add-Ons", search for mesh F2, activate the add-on and save the user preferences. Then in edit mode select an angle vertex and press the F key.
