After ab won't start autocompletion in any case. This is because
autocompletion starts first after entered the third character on a
line. We can change this value, it was only a guess. The reasons for the
delay are performance(autocompletion is pretty slow) and to not show
the autocompletion list if you typed one or two characters. Think of
what happens, when you type "gt" then you get a list with lots of gtk_*
functions.
So, if you rename abc() in abcdefg() autocompletion should work, but
doesn't. This is because of a little bug, I just discovered while
testing. So, thank you for pointing me to this ;-).
Will be fixed soon.

Calltips don't work for local functions(i.e. functions in opened
files). At the moment calltips work only for the functions read from
the global tags files. Will be done until 1.0.

The macro list is just a list of macros defined in the current workspace
(i.e. all open files + global tags files). The list is independent from
currently typed characters.
