I am under Mac OS X and I don't know how to expand, that's why I am
looking for a way to use tab to increment (by default) and to expand
as well...

How could I set a keyboard short cut to expand instead of trying to
find a way to use tab for doing both ?

Normally, `M-TAB' (hence `ESC TAB') will complete text (e.g. a function name) at
point. It is bound by default to `complete-symbol', `lisp-complete-symbol',
`completion-at-point', or something similar, depending on the current mode and
your Emacs version.


Isn't that a very inconvenient default? Almost every window manager across platforms intercept that to switch windows...
