Bug 57460

Description Alex Blewitt 2004-04-05 10:58:10 EDT

I don't have 'overwrite' enabled for code assist, because in most cases (when I'm just inserting 
something) I don't want it to overwrite the following characters.

However, when I've selected an option that ends with the following text, I'd like it to be overwritten:

string.le|th() -> code assist at | -> string.length();
string.le|other() -> code assist at | -> string.length()other()

This comes in handy when changing subclasses, specifically those that follow the rule of ending in the 
name of the superclass. For example:

new |Applet() -> new Ex|Applet() -> code assist at | -> new ExampleApplet|()

So, when point-from-cursor-to-end-of-word is a suffix of the selected-code-completion, do a replace; 
otherwise do an insert.
