In eclipse 4.2, I can just type:

joptionpane

and press CTRL+SPACE and it will turn into:

JOptionPane

Is there any way to do the same with intelliJ IDEA? I have tried pressing CTRL+SPACE, and ALT+/. But, for some reason it just does not work.

I would be most grateful if anyone could show me how to do this.

I am just trying out version 12 of IDEA, since some of my friends told me that it was a better IDE and had better code completion (their opinions).

You can disable the case sensitivity of the code completion in the settings menu:

File -> Settings -> Editor -> Code completion -> Case sensitive completion

If you then type "jo" and hit TAB, it will expand to JOptionPane.

Default should have been case insensitive.

IDEA is very senstive to capitalisation so I doubt it will ignore it. You can type JOP+<tab> and it will give you JOptionPane.

Even JO<tab> is enough -- just tested :p
