Please not alt+tab. Alt+tab is the default for cycling between windows
on Windows (!) and also pretty much also used as the default setting for
the same on most sensible unix window managers I have seen.

I don't remember exactly what Ctrl+tab was for, except that it was taken
(I think it cycled between windows too, but backwards).

Tab / shift+tab cycles forwards/backwards between widgets.

So there's not much room for an "autocomplete key combo" with tab... But
I don't have a better idea. Anyone got a better idea?
