Again, you can type "select" and the have the editor expand the whole
thing into "select _ from [cursor is now here]" and present you with a
list of tables for the autocomplete, then after you've selected the
table, it goes back to the field part of the query. I have emacs
rigged to do this with yasnippet, except that it relies on a
handwritten function, not intellisense. Point stands, easier done in a
single editor as opposed to changing the semantics of math.
