PhpStorm: Complete code versus complete current statement

Here are two useful keyboard shortcuts for PhpStorm which sound similar, but are quite different:

complete code CTRL + SPACE
will either finish your code if what you typed so far is unambiguous or otherwise offer a list to choose from.

complete current statement CTRL + SHIFT + ENTER will add a semicolon at the end of your statement, no matter where the cursor is.
