You seem to be very confused. The key binding for name completion is Meta Tab, M-TAB, not Alt Tab A-TAB. Perhaps your keyboard is ill-configured too. You should ask advice on how to map a meta- modifier key disctinct from the alt- modifier key (if you needed the later at all) -- __Pascal Bourguignon__ http://www.informatimago.com/ “The factory of the future will have only two employees, a man and a dog.
