Yes, it really should work better than this. (You did submit a bug report, 
right?)

In the situation where you are trying to choose the completion *rapidly*, I 
don’t have a workaround. However, in the situation (not so rare) where you 
don’t quite know the spelling, there is a way to find the method you want:

— Tab to the colon to get some method or other.

— Select all of the method signature starting *after* the 1st parameter (that 
is, leave the type and name), and delete that.

— Press Esc to pop up the list of completions. Now you can type-select on the 
next keyword.

It’s not perfect (you may end up with the wrong return type, for example), but 
it’s quicker than consulting the documentation.
