I'm not sure if I understood it right: Is this a comment to point 5)? I have written a test for completion assigments and I'm getting the idea that this will not save much typing in Smalltalk. In java it is much more verbose. I'll omit it from eCompletion 2.0...

Sounds as if keymapper would be nice for eCompletion, so people could customize their own key bindings. Is that the purpose of keymapper?

That's more like an abbreviation, isn't it. Maybe we could complete abbreviations, too. What do you think?
