This is driving me nuts - I could have sworn that IntelliJ had a feature that could find extension methods and auto-complete them _in Java_, including when they're defined in Java (i.e. it recognized the static utility class pattern). I remember reading the blog posts about it and everything. But now no matter what I try I can find no trace of this feature, nor the blog posts, nor is there any mention in the docs.

Did I somehow dream an IntelliJ feature and then believe it was real, or is there really a way to do this? I'd love to define extension methods in Java that are postfix completable for both Java and Kotlin users.

I'm not sure if that's what you're after, but you can get kotlin extensions / java static utils as postfix suggestion on Control + space + space

I think my confusion is due to all the auto-completion modes. I was pressing Ctrl-shift-space or similar, and then it doesn't appear.

Is there a way to change the default completion mode to be "full fat", do you know? I wonder also if there's a way to make this feature automatically add a static import, hmm
