I'd like to be able to set an option so that the code completion window appears 
as soon as I start typing additional non-whitespace characters into the editor, 
with a list of alphabetized tokens. As I type, the highlight in the code 
completion window would change to select the closest matching token, ignoring 
case. 

* I can change the selection in the code completion window at any time using 
the up and down arrow keys. 
* I can close the code completion window and discard the code completion by 
pressing ESC, or by moving the editor caret
* I can close the code completion window and apply the code completion by 
pressing TAB or ENTER
* I can close the code completion window, apply the code completion, and enter 
a space by pressing SPACE

The free Microsoft Visual C# 2008 Express Edition is my reference for this 
enhancement request.

I especially insist on case insensitive code completion. Due to that, I prefer

This creates a problem when writing the line:
a= 23

After entering the first two characters, abs= appears on he screen.

For the PEP 8 purist, type the two characters a and space at the start of a 
line and abs 'space' appears.

Work around:  Blank out the Auto Complete with one entry.

In the first place, spacebar shouldn't be a completion selection function.

There is an IDE option (Tools, Options, IDE Options) called "Complete with 
word-break characters"  Disable it if you want.  For further explanations read
