I recently returned to IntelliJ from Eclipse, and one thing I struggle with is automatic completion, especially when declaring collections. * This is not a question of which IDE is best, just a question of how to complete a task, if that task is possible *
In IntelliJ, I type
List<String> listOfNames = new ArrayL (then key stroke **Alt Ctrl Space**)
I get
List<String> listOfNames = new ArrayList
Which saves me by typing three letters, and not big savings, I'm sure you will agree
If I use Eclipse and use the Ctrl Space key bar on
List<String> listOfNames = new Ar
I get this result, including generics
List<String> listOfNames = new ArrayList<String>()
I am sure that I am missing something like a keystroke that I cannot find, or a plugin that I need to add.
thank
