I don’t know IntelliJ specifically. Maybe they do something similar that works as well.

It obviously doesn’t write a complete perfect comment for you, but I mentioned it because it’s not really specific to code, it’s just a really good and smart autocomplete that works on anything, even prose, and that can take unexpected patterns into account.

I probably wouldn’t believe it either, unless I had experienced it. Yes, it’s happened for simpler procedures, and you might need to tab through to pick the right completion - but still. It is unbelievably good at figuring out what type of code goes with which identifiers.
