Xcode 6 Swift partial auto complete methods

When I use Objective-c I can write a method half way and then have the ability to continue to complete it after the fact.

For example if I want to make NSIndexPath

[NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:1 inSection:5]

I can write

[NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:1 in

and Xcode will initiate the auto complete options box for the second half of the method call. And if it doesn't I can press esc to make the autocomplete options box show up.

however, with swift, there does not seems to be this feature. 

NSIndexPath(forRow:1, in

If I type the above in swift, it does not autocomplete the desired method.

Is this feature available at all for swift?

There are Xcode plugins for this. I like to use the fuzzyautocomplete because you can write partial methods. It uses the same tool that "open quickly" uses to find these methods.

You can also get this plugin (and more) from.

I find that autocomplete for swift is really so far behind objective-c autocompletion. Hopefully they're going to improve it with each release, it's already a lot better than what it was a few months ago. On top of that swift error messages are let say 'more than confusing' at times.
