Sorry, I cannot reproduce the issue in the current dev build. Trying to type 'System.' - code completion appears automatically iff the checkbox is selected. I agree that for methods it works, but please look at the following usecase: Type 'Syst' and wait. I expect that the completion appears, but nothing happens. You need to push Ctrl+Space to see code completion. Automatic code completion was always intended to be triggered by typing '.' in Java. However, some time ago, Jano Rojcek thought about a possibility to trigger automatic code completion by typing any identifier part. Changing to ENHANCEMENT for now. Yes, the completion that pop ups automatically when available would be really great iff: - it's really fast - it's unobtrusive (small completion popup window, with very small javadoc window) Try visual studio to see what I mean. Automatic completion is addictive, but it really needs to be extremely fast. Integrated into 'main-golden', will be available in build *200810310201* on http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nightly/ (upload may still be in progress) Changeset: http://hg.netbeans.org/main/rev/0fb6bb829f57 User: Dusan Balek <dbalek@netbeans.org> Log: Couple of code completion options added as requested by issues #74724, #131037, and #140695. An option has been implemented by Dusan. |
