  Insert mode or normal?
  ----------------------
  If you are referring to completion in insert mode,
  than the corresponding command that I use is
  'dabbrev-expand
  which is bound by default to M-/

  What I do is bind dabbrev-expand to C-=
  and bind 'advertised-undo to F12, that way
  when I'm "scrolling thru" possible completions and
  "pass" the one I want, pressing F12 takes me "back".

  The key for that is usually M-/.

Is this a trick question, or have you just not tried?

The answer is Ctrl-p.
