try auto-complete which might be a bit more natural.  And I got this
snippet from the list here a long time ago.  TAB does some completions 

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
;;;;re-using tab 
(defun indent-or-expand (arg) 
  "Either indent according to mode, or expand the word preceding 
point." 
  (interactive "*P") 
  (if (and 
       (or (bobp) (= ?w (char-syntax (char-before)))) 
       (or (eobp) (not (= ?w (char-syntax (char-after)))))) 
      (dabbrev-expand arg) 
    (indent-according-to-mode))) 
 
(defun my-tab-fix () 
  (local-set-key [tab] 'indent-or-expand)) 

(add-hook 'c-mode-hook          'my-tab-fix) 
(add-hook 'sh-mode-hook         'my-tab-fix) 
(add-hook 'text-mode-hook         'my-tab-fix) 
(add-hook 'emacs-lisp-mode-hook 'my-tab-fix)
