IDEA already does something very similar:
SmartType Code Completion (Ctrl-Shift-Space).
If you invoke it after the "(", it will show all
variables in scope with the correct type and it
will automatically highlight the one that has the
same name as the formal parameter. All you need to
do is press tab or enter to insert it.
HTH.

> Hi, guys!
>
> I enjoy IDEA a lot and going to recommend it to my boss as
> our standard Java
> IDE.
> So keep going the same way!
>
> Now the feature request: When I worked with Slick Edit (very powerful
> editor) I've mentioned
> following feature: if you declare function with parameters
> and than use same
> names for
> variable that you pass to the function, it'll auto complete parameters
> automatically for you.
>
> Let me explain what I mean:
> Suppose that you have function checkUser() with parameters
> String userID,
> String password.
>
> In you code you type:
> String userID = "user";
> String password = "password";
>
> int retCode = checkUser
>
> After that you open bracket for checkUser() function, IDEA
> will check what
> is a first parameter
> name and try to find parameter with the very same name and
> type. If the
> parameter found, IDEA
> will put it to function, prints "," after that and pass to second one.
>
> The advantages of this feature are:
> 1) You can speed up your development cycle;
> 2) *MORE IMPORTANT* You'll benefit by using same name for
> same parameters,
> this make code
> more readable and your laziness make you more productive.
