Ctrl+Space always jumped to an error. Although over the years codetools parser matured. So some syntax, that was formerly skipped/ignored, now raises an error.

(...and jumping can be turned off, yet it won't > do anything useful). IMO hiding an error is asking for trouble. A good GUI must indicate somehow when the results are not reliable or incomplete. For example by showing as first result a red line with the error message, which when selected will jump to the error. Then the user can deliberately choose to fix or ignore the error. I guess that would substitute a good deal of word-completion. Although word-completion is also much faster.
