Should I just remap TAB myself or does anyone else find the current behavior annoying and perhaps worth changing?
I changed the TAB command, so that it first indents the current line. If indenting doesn't move the cursor, it performs symbol completion. Is that better?
Yes, much better, thanks.
That said, I'm still a bit bothered by the typeout window popping up for the expansions. For some reason or another on my iBook it takes over the whole frame and there's no way to kill it short of without C-x k or several other keystrokes to pick out the right symbol. I'd much rather have the completion work in place, more like dabbrev-expand.
However, I'm not really complaining about that as I have spent zero time looking into how this actually works to see if I can get it to do what I want by simple configuration or with a patch. One of these days my annoyance- and free-time curves will intersect and I'll look into programming the behavior I think I want in order to see if it actually is better.
