This would be a bad thing to do as it would change the normal
behavior of the tab key. For example, tab wouldn't work to move
between fields in a dialog.
In Xcode 2.0 we removed the code completion functionality for tab
because it was too hard for many users to predict when it would work
and when it wouldn't. The problem was that it only worked if
autocompletion had started (the underline was showing), and that
happens after a delay. This timing dependence was the problem.
In Xcode 2.0, we've added the new "Next Completion" functionality.
This is predictable since it's only activated when you ask for it
(from the Edit menu, or with Ctl-'.'). It cycles through an ordered
list of best guesses. (The guesses are based a number of heuristics,
including your recent edits, so you do need to look at what it
inserts. But whether it inserts something or not is not in question
as it was when using the tab key.) The underlining that shows up in
2.0 only indicates that we think there are some interesting
completion choices. It's not the modal autocompletion that was there
in 1.5. And you can turn it off in the preferences without any loss
of completion functionality.

I haven't tested it, so I don't know if it works, but you might try
to set TAB as the keybinding for "Complete" (or something like
that) in the Key Bindings preferences of Xcode.

Anyone know a way to set up xcode 2.0 to use TAB for completing
