Resending this portion with color noted for those who don't have HTML support to show color...

also different for no matches). Maybe even red (no matches), yellow
(multiple matches), and green (one match).
Do you mean letters in the editor or in the lookup list? Please explain your
suggestion with some example.
In the editor, so, here's a scenario as you are typing characters:

String hello;
String helicopter;
String x =

............more than one match........
String x = h       (h COLOR IS YELLOW)
String x = he       (he COLOR IS YELLOW)
String x = hel       (hel COLOR IS YELLOW)

............exactly one match............
String x = hell       (hell COLOR IS GREEN)

............no matches.................
String x = helli       (helli COLOR IS RED)

My particular color choices are not ideal, but you get the idea that it is a visual color distinction as you type based on the number of potential matches.

Thanks,
Jon
