I'm not sure if it's the best way to do things, but I am using an
NSTableView (on an NSView) - ([myTextView addSubView:mySubView]) -
This has it's datasource hooked up to some code that populates the
correct values based on what the user has typed so far.
In the keyDown: event of the NSTextView, I look for enter/return/tab
(I have a flag set to know whether i am showing the completion view
or not), and the up/down arrows and forward these keystrokes onto my
custom completion class which then tells the NSTableView to move
forward/backward in the list, or select the item.
I have of course also overridden the default complete: method in the
NSTextView to cause my custom completion to be shown.
Hope this helps.

Can you elaborate on this? Where you hooked into the table-view,
did you use an overlay window, etc. I am also interested in getting
away from the built-in completions support if it turns out to be
worth the effort.

thx Todd - but this then results in an extra entry in the
completions list.
I have gone the route of rolling my own using an NSTableView, and
overriding the built-in completion stuff - seems to work quite well.

When using the completions in an NSTextView, if only 1 match is
found then the completions menu does not show - instead the
completion text is simply inserted into the textview.
Does anyone know of a way i can force the menu to always show,
even if there is only 1 match?
Cheers.
