I am not sure which particular autocomplete situation you are having problems 
with.

If the names are in the symbols pane of an _open file_ of the same language 
they should appear for autocompletion if you type the first few characters (how 
many is settable in preferences, default 4).

Is that the problem you are describing, or is it that many names do not show up 
in symbols.  The ctags system used to get the symbols can only handle named 
scopes, not lexical scopes, so it does not parse local definitions, so those 
names will not show in symbols.
