Subject: Re: Autocomplete (Code Completion) for Ruby in OS X's Textmate or Other

It's in there, but TextMate doesn't have the auto-complete like in MS  
Visual Studio or XCode.
It uses an Emacs style.
For different language bundles you can type a shortcut and press TAB  
or a keboard shortcut for other things.
For text completion, ESC will complete a word if you have already  
typed it once before in the file. Pressing ESC again will start to  
cycle through any other possible completions.

To learn more about TextMate, check out the wiki on the TM site or  
get the book from Pragmatic Programmers!

You can also customize shortcuts for any bundle in TM. For example,  
sometimes there is a menu item in a bundle with no shortcut. (for C+ 
+/ C compiling, is one.) so you can add the thing that makes most  
sense. ( I added command-R to compile my C/C++ files)
