Uh? You can answer by RTFM, but all I could get right now is a popup with *one* word, when the completion would be unambiguous. How do you get several entries?
I think the TAB key is enough to select an entry when I want it--can I make the RETURN key *not* selecting entries?
Even Tab is annoying, as you might want to type it after a word. And the fact that the autocompletion list captures also up and down arrow keys is annoying.
I think that the best implementation, as long as there is only one proposal displayed, is to display a tooltip instead. If what it display is relevant, we should hit some non-editing hotkey to a accept the proposal. Too often, when typing Lua, for example, I get a elseif when I just want an else and a newline...
If there is really a list of ending proposals, myabe they could be numbered (up to 9) and hit the hotkey and a number.
At worst, if the current implementation is kept, I think it should be more configurable, so I can tell it to start a proposal only if at least 3 chars have been typed, and never to display a proposal if there is only 3 chars or less to type (avoiding adding a plural, for example).
I never had the time to look and implement it myself, if somebody is interested...
