Actually, it DOES have code completion. Just type in the first few letters
of the symbol (variable name, method, class, etc.) and press F5. It isn't
*real* code completion, meaning that it isn't going to complete every symbol
in the current file, but rather, it will complete symbols as you have
already manually typed in. If it guesses the wrong symbol when you press F5,
just press it again (and continue to press it) to cycle through all of the
guesses it has. It works about 80-90% of the time, but it's better than
nothing!
