This will be the default in IDLWAVE 4.8.

Are you running Emacs inside the xterm? Then you have only a terminal
connection and you cannot use the ALT key etc. You need to use
ESC-TAB to do completion. Since this seems to be overwritten in your
setup, try this in .emacs:
(add-hook 'idlwave-mode-hook
(lambda ()
(define-key idlwave-mode-map "\e\t" 'idlwave-complete)))
(add-hook 'idlwave-shell-mode-hook
(lambda ()
(define-key idlwave-shell-mode-map "\e\t" 'idlwave-shell-complete)))
