Description
Autocomplete is a major helper for anybody learning a new language(library), but it has issues in x10dt
Example: modify a standard Hello example: comment out the Console.OUT.print line and try to recreate it on your own:
public static def main(Array[String])
After typing Console. press CTRL-space. NOTHING happens. It only works on a completed statement, which is useless for novices - I am trying to get help on completing the statement in the first place!
Agreed that auto-complete on invomplete statements is a key use case. Not sure how easy this will be to support, but we can take a look.
