Missing feature. Contributions highly welcome. > - Why is it impossible to decide where to place the project panel?

Both missing features. I am tempted to actually call it 'productivity enhancements', though, as there are people wasting most of their day configuring all kinds of minor aspects of their working environment instead of doing actual work. Sometimes less choice is really the better option, especially when it is exposed through a GUI. > - Why is it not possible to do a string based completion on demand?

English words are on average seven characters or shorter and you need to type a few of them for disambiguation anyway, and you have to handle completion. So the potential saving is rather... minor, isn't it?
