James Cuénod:

 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?

  Manipulating focus is messy cross-platform: its simplest if
Scintilla always has focus but then interprets the keys differently as
the mode changes.

  The original enabling and disabling of Tab or Enter would be fairly
easy if someone wants to think up an API and implement it. You can't
really just have a SetCompletionKey call since the default allows
multiple keys and this is liked by many and compatible with other
editors such as Visual Studio.

  BTW, I don't use any automatic autocompletion as its always
annoying so just perform the completion command when I want
autocompletion.

Philippe:

I can be mistaken, but I didn't found Ctrl+space in the SciTE
documentation (before posting previous message), nor in Scintilla's
KeyMap.cxx (right now).

  I expect it is in there just for Visual Studio compatibility as it
is equivalent to Ctrl+I which is shown in the Edit menu. If the
documentation says Ctrl+Space is Complete Symbol then the user may get
confused as to whether there is any difference between the two keys.
