Currently, basic code completion suggests variable names based on the class name:
Exception -> exception RuntimeException -> exception, runtimeException IllegalArgumentException -> argumentException, exception, illegalArgumentException It seems like the suggestions are alphabetically sorted and the selection defaults to the longest choice. I like the default selection but I don't like the alphabetical sorting. I would like it to be sorted by length, longest first: IllegalArgumentException -> illegalArgumentException, argumentException, exception Another thing I would like to see is an additional variable name suggestion based on the capital letters of the class name: IllegalArgumentException -> illegalArgumentException, argumentException, exception, iae Notice the "iae" at the bottom of the list. I use this type of variable name almost exclusively when catching exceptions, and also for instances of regular classes in unit tests, in other words, I use it quite often.
