I think what he was asking for was a list from which to choose, so that he's got the methods right there and so it generates an appropriate skeleton of the chosen method in his new derived class.

Even so, there are hundreds of superclass methods, due in part to the hundreds of methods added to NSObject in the category declarations used for informal protocols -- for example, the NSTableDataSource informal protocol in <AppKit/NSTableView.h>. Are you sure you'd want a list with hundreds of methods in it?

Still, it would be reasonable to be able to code complete while writing a method signature in an @implementation context (using methods declared in the class’s interface and any continuation, with already-defined methods filtered out), and in the @interface using superclass methods. Getting some sort of skeleton (even if it’s only return [super whatever];) would be a bonus.


Regarding another peeve in this thread, the ability to generate the “most obvious” ivar and @synthesize directive for a @property would be nice conceptually, although I honestly can’t say I’d use it much myself.
