Restrict what is shown when tab-completing dictionary keys

[astrofrog]

I have tried to use _ipython_key_completions_ to specify valid tab completions for a Python object - however the example below shows that there are some default completions that are still shown:

The ones I've returned are aab and aac and I'd like to have a way to show just those and not the various magic commands and other IPython/Python commands. Is there any way to do this currently, and if not, is this something that could be added?

There's a programmatic way to do that given by #11318. Changing the default behavior in IPython is discussed in that PR as well.

Hi,

I'm writing the comment here since the PR has been merged so I assume it will get more visibility on an open issue.

It looks like #11318 is missing a .tag(config=True) on the dict_keys_only option, which prevents it from being set using:

%config IPCompleter.dict_keys_only = True

As a side note, having it True by default would be even better :-)
