Yes, it really should work better than this. (You did submit a bug report, right?)
In the situation where you are trying to choose the completion *rapidly*, I don’t have a workaround. However, in the situation (not so rare) where you don’t quite know the spelling, there is a way to find the method you want:
— Tab to the colon to get some method or other.
— Select all of the method signature starting *after* the 1st parameter (that is, leave the type and name), and delete that.
— Press Esc to pop up the list of completions. Now you can type-select on the next keyword.
It’s not perfect (you may end up with the wrong return type, for example), but it’s quicker than consulting the documentation.
