Spend more time reading documentation basically. You quickly learn what is available when you have to spend time looking it up. autocomplete is a nice speed boost but if it breaks and you cannot do anything then maybe you should spend some time without it and learning to lookup/read the docs. Quite often the docs give a lot more details about how things should be used that autocomplete cannot convey. IMO you should see it as a nice reminder of things rather then the main way you learn about APIs.
