in general, the completion windows shouldn't be stealing focus without 
interaction. i don't mind them showing up (allthough i could live without a 
popup in every occurrence of c() and list() ;)), but i'd like to somehow 
indicate whether i would like to actually use them at the moment. in that 
sense, alt+up/down sounds reasonable to me.

do you have come control over their appearance? like, could they be 50% 
transparent unless you press alt? that could make it more obvious that alt is 
like the activator key for the windows. it would also make them less a 
distraction when you're writing code.

on other thing: i really love the slot() completion! the only thing is that it 
lost the ability to browse objetcs recursively -- you can access one slot and 
that's it. with the @-notation, if the slot was, e.g., a list, you were also 
offered it's members and so on. can that be fixed?
