The following hot keys are used for a code completion box: Ctrl+Space - to display, Escape - to hide. It's described in the book "Rich Client Programming. Plugging into the NetBeans Platform" (Tim Bodreau, Jaroslav Tulach, Geertjan Wielenga; Sun Microsystems (C), Prentice Hall), Chapter 14 "Code Completion". This is more of a usability issue than a bug. Esc does work to close/dismiss/hide the code completion suggestions list. However, the problem is that Ctrl+Space, if used when the suggestions list is present, changes the list to a highlighted "no suggestions". At this point, Ctrl+Space does not restore the list unless Esc (or a click elsewhere and then click to return) is used to dismiss the "no suggestions". Is there a way to prevent this situation, perhaps by preventing Ctrl+Space from dismissing/hiding the suggestions list? Re-opening and reducing the priority to P4. |
