Now I have more information. If there's only one possible completion, the selection will be inserted into the text.

Any idear?

Thank you for your help.

Now I add following code to my site-start.el. When I press [M-up], the menu

appears at point, with possible completions inside. It looks good.

However, after I select one item inside with mouse or keyboard, the selection
isn't inserted into the buffer. Have I done something wrong?

(defun my-dabbrev-completion ()
 "*Just like `dabbrev-completion', but display a popup menu."
 (interactive)
(save-window-excursion ; suppress *Completions* buffer
   (dabbrev-completion))
 (let ((menu (make-sparse-keymap "dabbrev-completion"))
       (completions (let ((symbols '()))
                      (mapatoms (lambda (sym)
(setq symbols (cons sym symbols)))
                                dabbrev--last-obarray)
                      (sort symbols 'string-lessp))))
   (mapc (lambda (completion)
           (define-key menu (vector completion)
             `(,(symbol-name completion) .
               (lambda ()
                 (interactive)
                 (insert ,(symbol-name completion))))))
         (nreverse completions))
(autoload 'senator-completion-menu-point-as-event "senator" "" t) (x-popup-menu (senator-completion-menu-point-as-event) menu));;pop-up at point
 )

(global-set-key [M-up] 'my-dabbrev-completion)

dabbrev-completion stores its results in dabbrev--last-obarray, which is a data structure suitable for the completion functions. You can read
about obarrays in the "Creating [and Interning] Symbols
==============================" node of the
Emacs Lisp manual.

Converting that to a menu keymap was too interesting for me to pass up:

  (let ((menu (make-sparse-keymap "dabbrev-completion"))
        (completions (let ((symbols '()))
                       (mapatoms (lambda (sym)
(setq symbols (cons sym symbols)))
                                 dabbrev--last-obarray)
                       (sort symbols 'string-lessp))))
    (mapc (lambda (completion)
            (define-key menu (vector completion)
              `(,(symbol-name completion) .
                (lambda ()
                  (interactive)
                  (insert ,(symbol-name completion))))))
          (nreverse completions))
    (x-popup-menu t menu))

You can create your own command that you could bind to a key, mouse
click, or menu item by wrapping that in something like:

(defun dabbrev-mouse-completion (event)
  "*Just like `dabbrev-completion', but display a popup menu."
  (interactive "*e")
  (save-window-excursion                ; suppress *Completions* buffer
    (dabbrev-mouse-completion))
...
)

And then replace the t POSITION argument to x-popup-menu with event.
