FWIW, in Icicles:
1. All of these keys are self-inserting: SPC, ?, C-j.
2. A separate key is used to word-complete: M-SPC, not TAB.
IOW, for word completion, just use a different key.
(I would request that you do not use any combination of keys or
modifiers with TAB or <backtab> for word completion, however.)
My feeling is that word completion is generally not very important,
but I provide a key for it.
To me, SPC is far more useful if it is self-inserting, not bound
to some completion command. But then Icicles uses completion for
lots of things, including lots of kinds of candidates that have
embedded SPC chars.
I feel the same about ? and C-j (newline). There is no good reason
for these not to be self-inserting, IMO. Again, in Icicles there
are lots of kinds of completion candidates, including multi-line
ones and ones that have embedded ? chars.
HTH.
