Maybe it is best to start with something simple, then add dwimishness later on. It turns out that I, personally, like both the non-cycling and the cycling behavior, so I just want two keys: one for cycling and one for non-cycling. M-TAB appears to be available. So I'd be happy to use it for cycling completion. It ought to be simple, but I couldn't do it. What did I do wrong? -- A turnip curses Elvis
