Something like in zsh (and maybe bash): first time display the list of
possible completions, then upon successive "tab" cycle through the
completions.

For instance, here is when I'm in the bbdb folder in zsh in a terminal:

~/src/bbdb(master ✔) 

I hit "cd tab", I get

~/src/bbdb(master ✔) cd
autom4te.cache/  doc/             lisp/            tex/           

I hit "tab" again, I get

~/src/bbdb(master ✔) cd autom4te.cache/
autom4te.cache/  doc/             lisp/            tex/           

I hit "tab" again, I get

~/src/bbdb(master ✔) cd doc/
autom4te.cache/  doc/             lisp/            tex/

Yes, this works. I'm trying to choose a completion without using the
mouse nor moving the point to the window. As I said earlier, I'm a bit
of an emacs novice, so I did not know this was an emacs-provided
feature.
