Can IntelliJ auto complete and include simple generics?

I have recently switched back to IntelliJ from Eclipse and one thing I am struggling with is the auto complete, especially when declaring Collections. *This is not a question about which IDE is better its just a question on how to perform a task if that task is possible *

In IntelliJ I type 

List<String> listOfNames = new ArrayL  (then key stroke **Alt Ctrl Space**)

I get 

List<String> listOfNames = new ArrayList

Which saves me typing three letters, not a great saving I am sure you will agree

If I use Eclipse and use the key stroke Ctrl Space on 

List<String> listOfNames = new Ar

I get this result including the generics

List<String> listOfNames = new ArrayList<String>()

I am sure I am missing something like a keystroke I can't find or a plugin I need to add.

Thanks

type 

List<String> listOfNames = new //be aware of the space after new

and press crtl+shift+spacebar, magic happens!
