Autocomplete function return value [message #698774]

Hello,

let's say that I invoked Content Assist (Ctrl+Space) on some object.
I scroll through list of methods and choose some which returns a value.
the following code appears in my source editor:

object.someFunctionReturningValue();

However if function returns some complicated value with many generics, I would be convenient if eclipse could read function signature and automatically generate field to which function return value is assigned,
ie I would like the following code to appear in my code editor:

Map<Long,List<String>> field = object.someFunctionReturningValue

Is there any way how to achieve this?

Thank you

After you finish typing this, press Ctrl+1 (you may have to move the
caret before the ;) and then use 'Assign statement to new local
variable' or 'Assign statement to new field'.

Thank you very much. I have been using Ctrl+1 only for handling errors until now (didn't know that it can be used in other context).
