The possible completions are taken from the documents you have open. You 
activate it under Tools> Preferences> Editing> Input Completion. There 
are options there to control how long it takes until the popup appears, 
etc. If you set the inline completion delay to, say, 1 sec, then hitting 
Tab will show the popup.

This is all in the User Guide, section 2.7.
