The global completion list (i.e. when not completing a file name or object 
attribute) is already full of all the built-ins, imported modules and 
variables.  So IMO we'd need a good reason to add yet more options into the 
completions list.

Personally, I don't think that adding all of the keywords to that list would be 
helpful: They are all short words and most of them must be memorized anyways to 
work with Python.

For instance, I don't recall this being brought up by those who often teach 
newcomers with IDLE, such as Raymond Hettinger, when discussing what's missing 
in IDLE. I'd be happy to get more input from them on this.
