OK, we now have a request about completion fixing typos: http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEABKL-6585

Davide, you’re definitely not alone. You may file a feature request.

Rather than middle matching I have felt the need for correction suggestion, e.g. in cases where I somehow type a class name with a small mistake in it and wonder why IDEA is not finding anything. I would like “maybe you meant…”.

re: Middle Matching… Not having to type set or get (or even just the ’s’ or ‘g’) alone will save a tremendous amount of keystrokes and time. Nice.

Charlie, there’s an issue for that: http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-81775. When we know how to fix it we surely will.

It would be great if the completion used the statistics to make suggestions based on what’s used the most after the initial match. When writing css for instance I use width way more than whitespace, but whitespace always shows up first and is annoying. Maybe this has changed already and I haven’t noticed it, but it would be great to include in the new autocomplete if it hasn’t.

2John D. Please drop some details about smarter code completion in JavaScript to YouTrack issue

Would be nice if the code completion for JavaScript would be smarter. At the moment is very very primitive. E.g. For ExtJS is even catastrophic :(. IntelliJ doesn’t really seems to recognize a thing from ExtJS, even if it’s added as a library correctly. No documentation, no completion, nothing :(.

David, Ctrl+N is not a completion, although we’ve introduced the middle matching there as well. It has some problems, you’re right. Feel free to vote for http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-88450 or http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-88240

This middle matching needs improvement. It favours the middle matching too strongly.

When you have lots of classes prefixed with “BigSquare”, and then another set of classes prefixed with “VeryBigSquare”, trying to use ctrl-n to find “BigSquare” becomes very inconvenient. Typing “bs” never matches BigSquare in my set of classes. I have to type “BigSq” (uppercase required) to even have it show up in the first list of matched classes.
