Major suggestion:
The auto compleat drop down is very un-aggressive. I'd love to see it be
Google style sort based rather than ordered-list/browse based.
JDT definitely has this and Descent has some.
The kind of thing I'm thinking of is having a live sort of the options
based on (among other things) what you have typed and the current
context. For instance, pull things to the top of the list that are of
the correct type for this context
Already (sorta) does this.
(or to a lesser extent, if they have
members that are of the correct type), and do infix matches rather than
just prefix matches.
Infix matches would be cool, but... where should they be presented in
the list?
There is a feature in the Open Type dialog where you can type acronyms,
i.e. "DQL" and get "DatabaseQueryListener" as a suggestion. Not sure how
practical/useful this would be to implement in autocomplete.
Also nice would be history based sorting (the more
often I use something, the higher up it is).
VS has this & it's a nice feature.
