Hi Marco,
I hope you are using the latest release (currently 0.2.1). It contains
online documentation that shows how to customize the editor and the user
dictionary (used for code completion, text hovers, etc). It also lists all
the available commands and their corresponding key bindings.

There are indeed a few Kawa extensions since I use Kawa at work. For
example, the user dictionary scans (by default) all top-level definitions
recognized by Kawa (define, defmacro, define-syntax, define-class,
define-simple-class, define-record-type, module-name). But all this is full
customizable and new defining forms can be added (using some Scheme code, of
course ;-).

Well, to be honest, writing a plug-in and testing it is not always as fun as
hacking elisp code... ;-)
