You can customize this manually, see for example http://notesmine.com/netbeans_cursor

You can do this in Tools-Options -> Editor -> Fonts & Colors

Please press Ctrl+SPACE in order to show codecompletion. If CC does not work in certain situations the way you would expect, please file a separate defect under Editor -> Completion & Templates.

This was confusing and many users considered this a defect. If you like having javadocs handy for things (classes, methods, etc) that are under the caret you can open the Javadoc window (eg. Window -> Other -> Javadoc).

i checked that out,but in version 6.8 on windows xp os,i couldn't find something near those paths you mentioned

however i think it wasw better netbeans developer team made some options to users for this subject...just like that old version !

you are right 
I checked that part before very carefully...but i was looking for something like that version,and this time i found that i should press that button to browse the font properties :)
but still have some issue :
consider i want to make all items a little bigger....and what can we do !?
this is good to have ability to change property of each item seperately,but in case i mentioned.... :(

I didnt understand this exactly.you mean users wants that be disappeared when they move cursor ? and so netbeans developers eliminated that feature ? 
but i think you mean the window can adjusted and be appeared where the window "output" and other adjucent windows are
I completely know that where it can be reached and i used that
But still the issue remains : when you move the cursor,that previous poped up (now exists at the buttom of IDE) window will change.I know it should be like this,becouse the cursor is now on another thing

but there isnt any way to have the feature like the past ?
if no,then i want to consider ths as a defect !

and finally 
dear friend,I'm so happy someone cares about these issues,cos before i came here i placed this subject to some forums and no1 answered
however i have some questions about this "bugzilla" system,if you please guide me i,ll be more thankful :
some options i cant find out,what should i select,for example 
: "Periority" , "Target Milestone"
and another thing : Who checks these issues,these bugs,defects,etc ?

at the end i should appologize for my bad English

thx

First of all, you have to find Netbeans userdir - use Help -> About and in the dialog search for 'Userdir:'. In the fresh installation this folder is fairly empty. The best way is to change something in the IDE (eg. View -> Show Line Numbers) and make it create the config folders hierarchy. After that there should be <userdir>/config/Editors/Preferences/org-netbeans-modules-editor-settings-CustomPreferences.xml and you can add <entry javaType="java.lang.Integer" name="caret-blink-rate" value="0"/> in it.

The general policy is to have as little UI options as possible unless there is a considerable number of users requesting some option. Regarding caret-blink-rate there have been a few requests, but the majority of users seems to be happy with the default value.


> consider i want to make all items a little bigger

Tools-Options -> Fonts & Colors -> All Languages -> Default is the default font inherited by all the other colorings (items).

Yes, that's what meant. AFAIR there was a defect complaining about having the code completion popup windows shown while scrolling the editor. We agreed that this was a defect and fixed it.

I'm sorry, I don't understand. But as I said before, if you have a problem with code completion, please create new issue and describe in steps what you do, what you expect the IDE to do and what it actually does. Please avoid mixing several problems in one issue.

Also, there is nbusers@netbeans.org alias with a community of Netbeans users, who can answer question related to using Netbeans IDE.

> what should i select,for example : "Periority" , "Target Milestone"

Please leave these set to the default values. They will be set to a proper value by a person who reviews the issue.


> and another thing : Who checks these issues,these bugs,defects,etc ?

Quality engineers, developer and/or other people actively working on Netbeans. You as a submitter is expected to participate in verifying issues that you submitted. However, we know that people are busy and our quality engineers usually take action when an issue is left unverified for a long(ish) time.

thank you so much
all my problm was solved(except those i like to be and others dont like ;) )
and there were not a long time issue is left unverified , just one day,and you replied,so thank you very much

best regards

I just want to correct one of issues i reported as a defect:
I was mistaken about code completion! that replied to me, i should press ctrl+space to expect IDE to pop up the code completion window, but after that, i checked the tools > options > code completion > Auto Popup Documentation Window can be checked and it will work without pressing ctrl+space and just upon typing.

this was argued in items #3 and #4

Best Regards
