Hello,

I often have to scroll through huge lists of suggestions in the content-assist menu.

I think it would help a lot if you could add regex(standard java regex or simplified regex) search to the java content assist(maybe other languages as well?) like that:

variable.set*Margin

and the content assist would then show me all matching results like:

setTopMargin()
setLeftMargin()
...

Thank you.
