State of documentation

Ah, good we talked about it :-) Remember that I'm just trying to reverse
engineer KDevelop to write the documentation ;-)

That said, I really appreciate the hint. How does this look:
  http://userbase.kde.org/KDevelop4/Manual/Working_with_source_code#Auto-completion

That begets a question, however: if I just type along, Kate's autocompletion 
tooltip seems to open up automatically, but to get KDevelop's I need to hit
Ctrl+Space. Is that true? And can that be changed so that I also get
KDevelop's tooltip automatically? That's the one I'm really interested in,
after all...

Thanks
 W.
