Code Completion

Hi,

New to Cocoa and ObjC (and then to PB), programming in Java for a living, I am seriously scared by the lack of code completion in PB.

I might have missed something but the PB's capabilities in this domain are seriously limited. I know that, once, code completion wasn't even an option but still, when used to develop using Idea (for those of you who know it) where everything is done to improve your code quality, your speed and your re-factoring when needed, I wonder about how painful it is to type ObjC code.

ObjC/Cocoa being a rather verbose language/framework it's really unpleasant to have such limited functionalities regarding code completion.

So here's my question,
Did i missed something (I have the dictionary plug in and it helps but...)
Do you know if Apple, or anybody else, is intending to improve PB in this domain ?

A question about the documentation,
Is there in the provided developer documentation a reference to the standard C stuff (random...) other than the man pages or external sources ?
Why AppKiDo to visualize the documentation isn't mandatory to all beginners ? :o)

Thanks,

Phil
