I don't think we should make it user programmable for other reasons. Oh... the Tab key would insert a Tab if there was no matching completion; don't know how to handle a case where the previous characters are an expansion but you really want a Tab. Hmmmm...

Howdy,

Now you know why I made my last statement. :-) 

One thing... Dick Koch has figured out what has to be done to be able to use Tab rather than Esc. The question is whether this is really something that is needed. This is especially true since I can't seem to get the Next Mark command tied to something like Opt-Tab or Ctl-Tab. etc., so any consistent assignment doesn't seem to be available.

Do I remember wrong (think of my age!)? Did you want Next/Previous Mark assigned different shortcuts? Were you able to do that using the Keyboard (Keyboard & Mouse in 10.4/5 I believe) Preference Pane?

Good Luck,
