If my class has a non-empty constructor, is it possible to auto-complete parameters in the new expression?
With Eclipse, if you press ctrl+space when the cursor is between the parenthesis:
MyClass myObject = new MyClass();
it will find the appropriate parameters.
--> MyClass myObject = new MyClass(name, value);
When I use ctrl+shift+spacebar after the new, Intellij shows me the constructors, but I can't choose one for auto-completion. Am I missing an option?
From version 14.0 onwards, the path to the setting dialog is slightly different, a General submenu has been added between Editor and Appearance as shown below
From IntelliJ 8.1.2 onwards, this option is in File | Settings1. Within the IDE Settings section of that dialog, you'll find it under Editor | Appearance.
You might already know that IntelliJ IDEA has the CTRL+P shortcut (Windows) and CMD+P (OX X) that brings up a brief description of which parameters are passed to the method. It's very handy and saves a lot of time that otherwise would have been spent looking up the method declaration.

I usually start with CtrlP (
Parameter Infoaction) to see what arguments are accepted (auto guess complete is way to error prone in my opinion). And if as in your case you want to fill innametypena dropdown menu appears with all available variables/fields (etc) starting withnArrow Up/Down and Tab to select name, or CtrlSpace to select a method (or even CtrlAltSpace to be killed by suggestions;-), followed by,andvTab for value.
