If you want css auto completion in gss file, you have to modify your ide preference to add the extension .gss as css file.
If you want autocompletion for gss syntax, you should open an issue to the Intellij issue tracker (https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues/IDEA) in order that they add support for GSS in the GWT plugin. For eclipse we need an external contribution to GPE.
