There was a guy working on a automplete plugin some time ago...

http://usuarios.lycos.es/acisif/gedit/autocomplete/autocomplete.html

unfortunately the plugin was not stable enough and had some problems so
it couldn't be included in gedit itself and we haven't heard back from
the guy. If someone wants to resume (or rewrite) such a plugin he can
check the archives for some suggestion etc. We still think it would be a
useful addition, but we son't have time to work on that ourselves.
