Import shortcut in IDEA Scratch files


I really like the possibility to write Java Scratch files with IntelliJ, what I don't understand, is why the auto import feature does not work? On a project's .java file, if I want to use something that is not imported, I write it's name, like Matcher, press Alt+Enter, and a class import menu pops up and selecting on of the imports automatically generates the import row for me. Why does that not work in Scratch files (If I press alt+Enter there, nothing happens, I have to manually type in all the imports)?

Edit.: I use IntelliJ IDEA 2016.3.3 Build #IU-163.11103.6, JRE: 1.8.0_112-release-408-b6 x86 JVM: OpenJDK Server VM by JetBrains s.r.o
