nautilus and the file chooser don't have <tab> completion but they do
have <enter> completion.  Start in a window with any file selected, and
start typing.  As soon as the folder you want is highlighted, hit enter
and the next folder opens up.  Repeat until you get the file you want.
It is _very_ fast and natural.
