My argument is that I have a laptop.  Lots of people have laptops, and
they've got some of the most evil keyboards around.  My keyboard works
fine for most chords (I use Emacs), so if the complete key were an
option, completion would be usable on more keyboards.  You're not
going to find many key combinations which will work on all keyboards,
because most of them have been taken already....
