Have a look for QuikFil in the class section here at the UT.
Very simple and straight forward, incremental complete, using a seek() and possibility to pop up a selection list with incremental seek.

I find it rather flexible and fast enough.

And about an incremental search making the code entry slower.
You can always put up a timer that triggers the incremental completion process, so you don't have to fire it on 'each' keypress. But only at certain intervals.
And it then takes a string of three or more characters at the time.
Otherwise when implementing the incremental completion on the keypress it fires after each character entered.
