Does Intellij have any way of customizing the filtering the methods that are displayed for code completion? For instance, if I have a class that implements a Collection, there are a large number of methods that will be displayed when hitting Ctrl-Space or Ctrl-Shift-Space. I would like to be able to code complete only have the methods of the current object displayed. Being able to configure the filtering of methods of certain classes would work as well.

This is particularly annoying in Groovy due to the large amount of methods for Collections. I am rarely looking to code complete on them since I know them, but they add a lot of noise to the code complete dropdown.

A: 

I'm not sure if that's possible. If you have a look in Settings > Editor > Code Completion, there are not many options for filtering certain classes.

I'll vote now. That is kind of annoying. Even if the current objects methods appear before the the others, that would be preferred.
