    IntelliJ IDEA

    IntelliJ IDEA

    JetBrains

    IntelliJ IDEA analyzes your code, looking for connections between symbols across all project files and languages. Using this information it provides in-depth coding assistance, quick navigation, clever error analysis, and, of course, refactorings. ^⇧Space gives you a list of the most relevant symbols applicable in the current context. This and other completions are constantly learning from you, moving the members of the most frequently used classes and packages to the top of the suggestions list, so you can select them faster. Digs a tad deeper than Smart Completion and lists applicable symbols accessible via methods or getters in the current context. Say you're looking for a value of Project and only have the Module module declaration. Press ^⇧Space twice to get module.getProject() without any additional effort. Static members completion Lets you easily use static methods or constants. Offers a list of symbols matching your input and automatically adds required import statements.
