I agree with a feature request for a keyboard cmd-key shortcut to turn  
off/on the auto-bracing/paren/curly-bracing behavior. At the moment I  
have one (less frequently used) computer in the default auto-bracing  
mode but have put my more frequently used machine in the Preference- 
deselected non-auto-completion mode. I would uniformly adopt the  
completion mode if there were a way to "keyboard()" it off/on.

I realize that  "real useRs" probably use some sort of editor with the  
capacity to spawn various mode()-ed windows, but I really appreciate  
effort that went into building the GUI, and have found that emacsen  
and Eclipse have too high a barrier to entry for my feeble brain.
