Feature requests code completion

(1) column lists: When writing Select and DML statements I'm often seeing myself in the situation of being forced to switch from code assistent to the browsers column list/copy commy separated etc. because using the code assistent I would need to select the columns step by step - which is boring. Proposal: If the code assistent would be able to multiselect the columns presented (by mouse or keyboard - CTRL UP/DOWN + SPACE for selection) and insert the list comma separated on ENTER I could write very fast without the browser indirection.

(2) DB alias: Small thing: Would be cool if code completion would work for connect strings (in command window, presenting the same list you're having in the logon dialog).

(3) string and comment context: Code completion doesn't work in the context of a comment or a string. Both would be needed. In comments (esp. for plsqldoc) you often need parameters, method names etc. In strings you need it when writing dynamic SQL or similar stuff.
 
Talking about code completion:
I'd like it to work for arrays of records. somehow its turned off as soon as there ist an index ( like '(i)' ) in the string to be completed. I'd also like code completion to work for records used in
'FOR rec IN cur LOOP' Statements, where the Record is not explicitly defined anywhere.
