I think TAB should be bound to lisp-complete-symbol in M-x eval-expression, aka M-: .I think the only problem preventing this change is... When this is fixed, it makes sense to allow TAB to complete a lisp symbol...Uh, why? What's wrong with M-TAB or ESC TAB for Lisp symbol completion, exactly as in a Lisp buffer? If it's good enough for there, and it's alwaysbeen good enough for here (minibuffer) in the past, why change it?
Two things: - M-TAB does not work when the window manager eats it breakfast- TAB is rather commonly used for completion (for example when reading file names in Emacs, in shells, hacks to use TAB for completions in Emacs are seen as positive by some Emacs users)
