PhpStorm and IdeaVim - shortcut to complete line?

Question

I'm using the current PHP Storm EAP (138.1505) and IdeaVim 0.35.

Suppose I just want to type:

print_r($foo);

I press i to go into Vim insert mode.
I type p r and I can choose print_r via the autocomplete.
It'll add open and close braces () for me.
I start typing my variable, it'll let me autocomplete that too.
At this stage I have print_r($foo) with my cursor positioned before the closing bracket.

What I'd like now is a single key combination that'll finish the line for me - i.e. add a semi-colon and a carriage return. At the moment I either have to type );[return] by hand as if the autocomplete wasn't there, or for some reason I've got in the habit of doing esc to leave insert mode then A to continue at the end of the line and ;[return][esc]to finish it off, which is even longer.

Any better way?

@romainl that does work; although not everyone will be using a keyboard with a dedicated end key (and personally I prefer the combination Kent suggested.) — William Turrell, Aug 08 '14 at 12:33

I don't use PHP Storm. but I do use Intellij + ideavim.

Here I can press Ctrl-Shift-Enter to complete a line. It is a kind of default setting. You can find it under menu: Edit: complete current statement

You may want to give it a try.

Thanks (for Mac users it's Cmd-Shift-Enter). Doesn't appear to be in the PhpStorm menus, for some reason. – William Turrell Aug 08 '14 at 12:29

You can add this line to ~/.ideavimrc:

imap <C-e> <Esc>A;<CR>

Replace <C-e> with your desired key.
