Description Petr Dvorak 2009-08-13 11:31:58 UTC

Assume you write something like:

database.setName(userNameFullWithDiacritics); // userNameFullWithDiacritics does not exist, rest of the code is OK

Editor warning/error shows up - it notifies you about a non-existing variable. Apparently, the first thing you would
like to do is to fix the erroneous state, so you place caret one line up and you start typing "String user|"... Now, I
would like to be able to use the code completion to complete the variable name to the one that is missing (currently,
code completion offers me "userS" and "userString").

// This feature works for example in XCode (CC shows all "words" in the sources).

Yes, this would be nice. CC area, reassigning to Dusan.
