Bring qualified data structure name to top of Content Assist prompt list

I use Content Assist to autocomplete code all the time. For data structures, however, it hasn't been as nice. The reason is because I can't easily simply select a qualified data structure to complete, it brings up all the subfields as well for me to pick from. Having the subfield list is fine, but I would like the data structure itself brought to the top of the list instead of being at the bottom where it currently is.


Use Case:

When there is a data structure with a lot of subfields, I don't want to have to arrow down through them all, so I end up typing out the data structure and then doing ctrl-space after the period and typing to get a subset of the subfields for me to select from.

    Thank you for taking the time to submit your request. After careful consideration, we know that we cannot deliver your requested enhancement in the near term, so it is being declined. However, your request does align with the future strategy of our product and we believe it may have future value, so we will add it to an internal list for us to keep in mind for the future.

    We reviewed this RFE again and were not sure which order you want, most recently used or most frequently used?

    Although the theme of this request is consistent with our business strategy, it is not committed to the release that is currently under development.

    A preliminary evaluation of this request indicates that it is consistent with our business strategy. Further evaluation of this RFE is underway.
