Often a value needed in an expression exists inside another object rather
than in the current scope.
It'd be good to have another code completion shortcut for a "deep"
SmartType code completion.
It would look into any attributes or local variables in the current scope
for public attributes or methods that are of the correct type for the
expression, and list the full expression.
E.g.
class ClassOne
{
public String stringOne;
public String stringTwo;
public int testInteger;
}
class ClassTwo
{
public String stringThree;
public void testCompletion(ClassOne co)
{
testMethod( _
}
public void testMethod(String stringArg)
{
throw new SillyExampleException();
}
}
With the cursor after "testMethod(", pressing
ctrl-shift-alt-Windows-Key(tm)-tab-tab-percent (or some other shortcut
combination - suggestions welcome), would bring up a list containing:
co.stringOne
co.stringTwo
stringThree
stringThree.concat(String)
stringThree.intern()
stringThree.replace(char, char)
stringThree.substring(int)
stringThree.substring(int, int)
stringThree.toLowerCase(Locale)
stringThree.toLowerCase()
stringThree.toString()
stringThree.toUpperCase(Locale)
stringThree.toUpperCase()
stringThree.trim()
The fact that this is a different shortcut is important, as you wouldn't
want it seraching every attribute every time you were trying to complete
the name of a local string.
