I dunno. Just tried it, and "this." brought up the list of methods.

Tab. Just like every other auto-complete system in existence.

Dude, maybe rather than bitching that IDEs suck, you should give it a rest 
until you've tried one written this millenium.

You know, that works pretty poorly if you have anything other than code 
involved. If you're doing a video game and you need to import the audio,

OK, so you have your development environment, non-integrated. So? What's 
your point?
