This works right now, just with Enter and not tab. Start writing =S and press Enter and it will autocomplete to =SUM()

(In reply to Buovjaga from comment #1)

This should not be WORKSFORME (that is for "yes there *was* a problem that you reported, but it was fixed by unknown commit since your report"). It would be INVALID if it were wrongly reported. We often close such things as NOTABUG as a softer resolution.

However, in this case, consider that Writer has "Word Completion" tab in its autocorrect options, and it allows you to select the key that auto-completes the suggestion, including Tab; while for Calc, that option is unavailable. Possibly it could be introduced? (But indeed, there might be some detail that requires Tab for some fixed thing that disallows that in Calc... Maybe Eike can tell?)
