Answer 1

you need to add a completer like this

var staticWordCompleter = {
    getCompletions: function(editor, session, pos, prefix, callback) {
        var wordList = ["foo", "bar", "baz"];
        callback(null, wordList.map(function(word) {
            return {
                caption: word,
                value: word,
                meta: "static"
            };
        }));

    }
}

langTools.setCompleters([staticWordCompleter])
// or 
editor.completers = [staticWordCompleter]

If you want to persist the old keyword list and want to append a new list

var staticWordCompleter = {
    getCompletions: function(editor, session, pos, prefix, callback) {
        var wordList = ["foo", "bar", "baz"];
        callback(null, [...wordList.map(function(word) {
            return {
                caption: word,
                value: word,
                meta: "static"
            };
        }), ...session.$mode.$highlightRules.$keywordList.map(function(word) {
        return {
          caption: word,
          value: word,
          meta: 'keyword',
        };
      })]);

    }
}

langTools.setCompleters([staticWordCompleter])
// or 
editor.completers = [staticWordCompleter]
