Hey! Completion from unknown symbol now works!

Are you sure that it isn't word completion?

It is not. Also try to complete names more often and you'll see other
major changes in name completion. We hope that we've changed user
experience for this nearly useless feature.

Waiting impatiently to examine :) Thanks a lot

I think it's everything else but "nearly useless".
It's simply great to use with CamelCase completion, e.g.
throw now IA
and hit Ctrl-Space.
As soon as camel case completion worked in the editor, I
have been missing a combination of type-safe (smart) plus
class (not yet inported) code completion.

Cool - thanks for another usability feature!

That's great.

Sure.
-- Override/implement method name completion
-- Setters/getters
-- Unresolved symbols
-- Statistics based name completion (by type, you can complete your
favorite int offset or int length (5 top used names with provided prefix
will be listed in lookup))

OK. Though, one must write the correct signature first.
The neat thing would be to make it work on code like this:
get private String name; Press , and have IDEA create the getter public String getName (){ return name;} private String name; Still a reasonable request, don't you think? > -- Statistics based name completion (by type, .. OK >> -- Override/implement method name completion OK, bus same remark as for getters/setters: we must write the correct signature first.

How does this one work?

Yes it is but we can't do this right now.

If you have unresolved symbol inside codeblock/class/etc. completion
will add used name to lookup list.

This didn't work for me... In this case:

int x = whatAmIDoing + 2;

Then after this line,

int z = wha<Ctrl+Space>

I get 'No suggestions'. I'd like it to fill in unknown symbols, even if they haven't been declared.

(Typing "int wha<Ctrl+Space>" BEFORE the line works fine, though)
