Yes ok, this works. But for me it's very awkward to type <ESC><TAB>
since I've to leave the ground position of my left hand on the
keyboard (on an usual German keyboard; probably that's quite different
from English ones). Since I'm going to use completion _very_ often, I
would be very happy about an easier keybinding...
