Thanks. I will try to add this.
- Currently, this is implemented only for Java.
- So, shall I add this only in the specific UI for _Java_ within the
_Editor_ > _Code Completions_ preferences?
- Perhaps later when someone else needs this implemented for other
languages, it could be exposed there.
> I'm curious at the reasoning for adding this where it is? It seems similar
to the guess filled method arguments option? Between them they feel like they
cover 3 states? (no fill, parameter names, guess values)

Yes, that progression in the complexity for insertions makes sense to me.
1. boolean "completion-insert-text-parameters":
- on/off inserting parameter values
- inserted values maybe parameter names or guessed local variables or
something else.
- possibly more widely available in different completion contexts
2. boolean "guessMethodArguments":
- on/off guessing a value from locally available variables
- inserted value takes effect only when the flag above is on.
- possibly unavailable in different completion contexts
Given that the latter is already a defined preference key, it seems easier
to maintain backward compatibility and a minimal state increase with the added
boolean flag.
When implementing the UI above, I could try to introduce joint states for
these 2. However, it may become difficult to move the first setting to other
languages.
Let me know if this analysis makes sense.
