Is there a way to get the completion dialog to work like tab completion in the shell? I've looked around for a keybinding or a configuration option but haven't found one.
The reason I'm asking is that we have a lot of C code with namespacing prefixes, for example the file I'm currently looking at has a couple of dozen function that start with "network_", so what I'd like to be able to do is type "net" hit tab to get it to complete out to "network_" then type "ac" by which stage the only valid completion is "network_accept" which I can get by hitting tab again.

No, there is nothing as you wish. I personally prefer the completion list as it is by now but if someone wants to implement something more like a shell tab completion, go for it. Should be possible as a plugin.
