The best way, IMHO, would be to have a DWIM key. DWIM stands for Do What I Mean.
Right now Idea is very close to this functionality, but the functionality is broken up into different pieces. I still can't keep straight what Ctrl-Space vs. Ctrl-Shift-Space vs. Ctrl-Alt-Space does. I would like 1 key that would DWIM (perhaps 'complete the next token' is a different way of stating what that key would do). Having this functionality split into 3 different keystrokes just doesn't work for me.
