Alt + / and Alt + Shift + / work both in plain IntelliJ and with IdeaVim installed.

Please see documentation on JetBrains page - it's called Hippie Completion (newer versions call this completion Cyclic Expand Word).

And of course you can always use Ctrl + Space, Ctrl + Shift + Space, Ctrl + Alt + Space.
