Package:           kdelibs
Version:           KDE 3.0.0 
Severity:          wishlist
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          Not Specified
OS:                Not Specified
OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified

In the standard KDE file dialog box I really find it frustrating that I cant use TAB as filename completion.  XMMS does this beautifully and it would be great to have a an option for the KDE file dialog to work this way too.

In KDE are currently 4 completion modes. In KDE the tab key is for focus
change. In xmms you can't get to the close button with the tab key which is
_very_ confusing. In KDE if you press the characters you would tab from
you get the selection marked and only have to press enter without one extra
tab - and still have tab free for focus change.
