Umm, by reading the documentation? (yeah, right)  Or by experimenting a
bit?  Perhaps because you're used to tab-completion in shell?

Automatically showing the dropdown is mostly distracting, you can still
easily get the autocompletion _when_ you want it.

But I just realized there's also a problem.  Using the tab for
autocompletion breaks accessibility which needs the tab to advance from
one widget to the next... :-/

I wouldn't want to change the tab for anything else, it's the most
familiar (and common?) key for autocompletion.  Damn accessibility ;)
