tabkey2 does not do completion. It just tries to give you the 
possibility to always use Tab for completion.

If you are using tabkey2-mode and hit Tab then the first Tab will 
"normally" indent the current line. If you immediately type Tab again a 
completion function will be invoked.

You may wonder which completion function will be invoked. In that case 
you can type Shift-Tab instead of the second Tab. That will show you 
which completion function is the one to use. Typing Shift-Tab again will 
change to the next completion function available.

There are of course some options in tabkey2 that let you choose the 
order of the completion functions.
