I like Google Chrome because it is fast but I don't like using the arrow keys in the location bar to complete URLs. Is there any extension, or setting I'm missing, that allows me to use the Tab key (or other customizable key) for completion like in Firefox?

I am an Emacs user and am aware of Conkeror. I just wanted to give Google Chrome a fair chance.

Edit: I'm using version 4.0.266.0 on Linux.
