Do not disable the single hotkey. Disable whole feature.
Man, I'm programmer too. Don't try to tell me it is impossible or hard 
to do .

But unfortunately it's very weak comparable to other solutions. 
Aspecialy it fails while working with joins. but makes impossible a lot 
of things like add field names just after SELECT etc. I don't want to 
list all issues here. There are better solutions - and this is the fact. 
That's why it should be possible to disable it in pgadmin.
Just try SQL Asistant to see how far behind is native auto-complete. 
Because I have feeling you think psql based one is good enough.

It does, actually . It uses most popular hot-key combination making 
impossible to use the same with SQL Assistant
