Hi all,
In Eclipse 3.2 (Java editor), let's say I have a line
something = method(arg1, arg2);
and I want to change 'method' without changing the arguments. Is there
a slick way to do this using code completion? With my current settings,
if I highlight 'method', start typing the replacement name and hit
Ctrl-space to pick the replacement, it inserts a new set of parentheses
and dummy arguments in front of '(arg1, arg2)'. If I highlight the
entire call to 'method', it replaces the existing arguments with dummies.
If possible, I'd like to preserve the behavior that code completion with
no parentheses and arguments present inserts the parentheses and the
dummy arguments.
Sorry if this falls in the 'RTFM' category, but every time I wander into
the options screens my eyes start to water. :-)
/Paul

If you don't like that mode but only used it rarely then do this: in
your example use Ctrl+Space then hold down the 'Ctrl' key to toggle the
mode.
