Almost an incentive to switch back to windows!

Love this feature!!

Reminds me of Rational Apex, which I sadly don't have access to anymore.

But please can we have a 'proper' Undo function not an Undo/Redo?

A side effect (of visible suggestions, here in VAJ and Eclipse)
that I've been witnessing is decreasing knowledge of libraries, and
also that source code starts beeing cluttered with fully qualified
names because then the feature works. People have started qualifying
names even when they were just looking for some standard java.lang.String
function.  Hope you can avoid this desease, which in Ada I'd have to
express as

   function inc(x: Standard.Integer := Standard.Integer'(0))
               return Standard.Integer is
   begin
      return Standard."+"(x, Standard.Integer'Succ(x));
   end inc;

I'd guess (from mechanisms behind C-TAB) that AdaGIDE is 
smarter and doesn't require FQNs. So it can nicely hide whatever
negative effect on learning suggestions might have :-) 
(Not saying suggestions aren't useful, but it might make programmers
even more lazy.)

just my -2c.

Inc should be called Double_Plus_One.  ;-)
