Currently Squeak is not a target of OCompletion:
http://www.mail-archive.com/pharo-project@lists.gforge.inria.fr/msg29885.html

Cmd-Q doesn't guess at all, it just walks through the symbols and gives 
you the next in the table which has the prefix you typed. Because the 
symbol table is a hash table, the order of the symbols is random in 
practice. Also there were several bugs in the code which made Cmd-Q 
skipping symbols.
