This is also possible with TM 1.x

You have to install DIALOG2 ('only' source code available; you have to  
compile it) and you have to look for the latest bundle versions  
whether the author(s) wrote a routine to support DIALOG2.

tm_dialog2 provides such a functionality 'ExtendedPopUp'. You type 's'  
press the the key for auto-complete. A popup window appears with all  
suggestions beginning with 's'. But you type further to narrow down  
the list.
