I'm still using Jade 6.3, so no first-hand experience. Is it really that hard to type the names in? (occaisionally I use CTRL-1 and CTRL-2).
However, the Jade documentation is online, perhaps this might help? ... http://jade.co.nz/docs/jade/Default.htm ... nality.htm

SIT - Use the Options -> Preferences menu to open the preferences dialog. Swap to the 'Editor' tab on the preferences dialog, and then select the 'Use AutoComplete' option. You should then find the AutoComplete suggestions appearing.

Murray - once you've used Jade 7 for a short time, you very quickly adjust to AutoComplete and don't want to go back to typing everything in full again. I just wish it could have been retrofitted to Jade 6 because it really is a significant productivity improvement when coding and I really notice the lack of AutoComplete any time I'm having to produce a 'patch' for older releases of our product that are still on Jade 6.

Cheers,
BeeJay.
