Yes it is, but for the moment there is no other way, except...
There is some logic in the system:
all \begin{something}... \end{something} start with "b", so I would type 
"bsom [tab]", I'll get a proposition, let say:
\begin{somebody}... \end{somebody}, not good, I'll type "[Tab]" again, 
another proposition will be offered, if existing, up to return to "bsom"
There are some other groups like this for the mathematical symbols alone 
or in formulas.
Otherwise, it is often the beginning of the command "cha" for 
"\chapter", "se" for "\section"; "sse" for "\subsection",...

After some time, as one use a small group of commands, one knows the 
shortcuts, or try guessing :-)
