Unfortunately, the main problem with Tab completion is that it's
(arguably) a 508 accessibility violation-- it "disrupts or disables
activated features of other products that are identified as
accessibility features".  In this case, GNOME's (and most other
desktops') use of Tab everywhere else to move focus.
