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.What about a tooltip type thing where if u hit some non-editing key it gives the tooltip focus and then it behaves like the good ol' auto complete dialog thing? That could be pretty easily implemented couldn't it?
In Windows, AFAIK, you cannot give a focus to a tooltip. Since autocomplete only shows one entry, having completion when hitting Ctrl+Space, for example, would be enough.
Now, if somebody implements showing multiple entries, there would be a need for a list, and using the shortcut (and only it) to set focus on the list would be better.
Why show several entries? Because I often have variable names or function names with the same prefix, and often I have completion only when typing more than half of the name.
