LineGetter.tabCompleteStartPoint

Override this to provide a different tab competition starting point. The default is 0, always completing the complete line, but you may return the index of another character of candidate to provide a new split.

Both candidate and afterCursor may have private data packed into the dchar bits if you enabled enableAutoCloseBrackets. Use ch & ~PRIVATE_BITS_MASK to get standard dchars.
