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...

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.

I did, but it is easy to change using the Keyboard pref pane (I am doing it under 10.6).
