I still don't know what it is you are trying to do.

If you want "the full code completion of QScintilla" then you need to write a 
Scintilla lexer for your language. Then you need to write a QsciLexer 
subclass for it that manages the new lexer's styles settings. Scintilla 
lexers are usually written by modifying an existing one (one of the Lex*.cpp 
files).
