How to get Zend Studio to autocomplete for a Zend Framework project?

Question

After I create a couple folders in the /application folder (such as forms and models) and then start adding classes to those folders, how do I make the code auto completion for these classes available in my various other files such as my IndexController.php?

I'm using Zend Studio 6.1 and ZF 1.8.4.

I know this isn't neccesary AN ANSWER, but have you tried NetBeans?

http://www.netbeans.org/

It's free, auto-fills as it should (it constantly scans the project files), and I like the @todo window (which keeps all your todo comments in a window by file or project) so you can feel better about not coding something in right away.

make sure to set the Zend Framework for the 'PHP Include Path' and use phpdoc style comments to set what the types of the different variables are.
