I don't think we need to give an example of pressing tab (via "so mi becomes microbit..."). Kids will work it out if they read that TAB does something special. And, actually, pressing TAB after mi will only work if you already imported microbit.

You'd be surprised.
Auto-complete seems totally obvious to you and me, yet to an 11yo kid who has grown up in some of the places I used to teach (east end of London, wrong end of Slough, rough parts of Reading or anywhere in Bracknell etc...) this will be a totally alien concept. In fact, their literacy (let alone their typing) skills won't be fluent so any way we can "prod" them in the right direction so they engage because their life is made easier is a good thing (tm).
That they have to type will put off a significant minority of kids. My experience is that more help is better. Kids who don't need that guidance will just ignore it, or skim it, or use it to confirm their existing understanding.
