"most IDEs are incapable of dealing with misspellings. Type in the beginning of an identifier name, hit the smart-complete key combination, and if the IDE can’t find a match, you’re out of luck. The IDE knows from the completion request that I expect it to have seen the name, so it should show a list of possibilities that include options with slightly different spellings. Spell checkers do this all the time. IDEs could easily do this." Found at http://www.sdtimes.com/content/article.aspx?ArticleID=34559&print=true Indeed! I do not use completion very intensively as many "old-school" don't. However in many cases I dreamed that IDE corrected my mistake exactly as spell-checker does. Why not to use "suggestion framework" for this?
