I have a few places where I’d like to have essentially an NSTextField with an auto-complete - but its not a combo-box. The closest I can come up with what I’m looking for is the Apple Calendar location field where it brings up a search auto-complete. A few things are that it looks like a standard text field and you can type any text you want, but you can also select something from the completion list. The completion list is also an attributed string or a table cell that lets us customize the look just like it:

This also needs to work IN a Popover, so having a popover come under the text field doesn’t work either. I’ve looked at NSSearchField and this is not a search field. Its a suggestion box which is different both in its purpose and aesthetics. I’m sure its just a simple “do this and this”. Maybe its just a text field with a NSTableView in my view that is hidden until its needed. That’s fine, but I want to make sure I’m doing it right.
