readline is typically configured via ~/.inputrc, and Octave has a
read_readline_init_file() builtin. So I suggest something like (copy &
paste in a terminal):

cat > ~/.octaveinputrc << .
TAB: ""
"\C-\t": complete
.
cat >> ~/.octaverc << .
read_readline_init_file('~/.octaveinputrc')
.

which will move completion from TAB to Ctrl-TAB
