It never occured to me that I could use tab to go
into the completion popup. It's a popup, it's under the lineedit, I could
only think of Key_Down to go into it.

I just tried <tab>, and it's kind of "cool", and iIf one wants to move to the 
next widget, it's only a matter of pressing Esc before pressing Tab.

*But* the whole point of the popup completion is that it's unintrusive, isn't it?
In that case, Tab should work as if the popup wasn't there.
