Description Dominique Jean-Prost 2002-06-04 17:19:10 UTC 
Take the following code

public void foo(String toto)
{
 to|
 String bar;
 ba|
}

If you press ctrl-space just after "to", code completion 
doesn't show the method parameter toto.
If you press ctrl-space just after "ba", code completion 
doesn't show the locally declared variable bar neither.

I think both should work.

I have no idea if it can help you, but you have also the 
CTRL-L and CTRL-K combinaison that will propose already 
type words.
in your example,

public void foo(String toto)
{
 to|
 String bar;
 ba|
}
CTRL-K after to will display toto
CTRL-K after ba will display bar

In the following example
public void foo(String toto, String totor)
{
 to|
}
CTRL-K after to will display totor.
If you press one more CTRL-K, it will display toto.

Maybe it can help you.

I use that combinaision each days and just type two or 
three letters, then ctrl-K and system propose already 
typed words for you.

Now, I am no more afraid to type long variable name 
because I know that I don't have to type it anew 
completely.
