New in 4.0: Smarter Ordering of JavaScript Completion Options

We are getting a lot of reports and ideas from you about the ordering of JavaScript completion options. So in WebStorm 4.0 and PhpStorm 4.0 we made small but important improvements. More relevant suggestions now appear at the top of the list in many cases.

1. Suggested names are ordered by their definition scope nesting, i.e. global variables are placed at the bottom of the list.

2. Object members are ordered by class inheritance.

3. If a local variable exists with the same name as the parameter of the called function, that variable is considered the most relevant.

These rules also apply to ActionScript completion.

You can explore these features in the new WebStorm & PhpStorm 4.0 EAP. Your comments and suggestions are welcome in our issue tracker
