If it works with gtk1, then it is a LCL gtk2 interface bug. Does it
work with gtk1 for you? Under gnome it works with gtk1.

Under linux/gtk1/gnome I can type code, when the completion box is
open. Cursor keys UP/Down switches selection. Return key closes box and
replaces identifier with selection. Shift+Return appends identifier.
Escape closes box without change. Normal key ('a'..'z') appears in the
source editor and reduces the shown possibilities in the box.

To avoid misunderstanding:
Ctrl+J is code template. Do not confuse this with Ctrl+Space identifier
completion (Delphi slang: code completion) and Ctrl+W word completion.
All three show the completion box.

It shows the function result type too.
You are the first saying you don't find it useful. If you want to add
an option to hide the parameters from the completion box, then I will
help you.
