@Svata: Could be solved via https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=125577 Created attachment 146510 [details] Proposed patch @Svata: I like to propose a patch to solve this issue. Hints can be sorted by implementing EnhancedFix#getSortText(). See its usage at org.netbeans.modules.editor.hints.FixData.getSortText(org.netbeans.spi.editor.hints.Fix):java.lang.CharSequence a) So I updated AddParameterOrLocalFix and CreateFieldFix to implement EnhancedFix. b) I also introduced a new default ordering with hackish "hardcoded prefix string" approach. * create local variable * create field * create parameter If you do not want the ordering of the "create XXX" fixes (because [1] will be implemented soon?) then simply return getText() in getSortText().

I think that #125577 is not a good solution here, as the parameter/field/variable decision highly depends on the exact context and may vary. Using ranking is a good choice for fix alternatives, which respect different code styles. IMHO the fixes should be grouped into scope groups (local text fixes, environment fixes (like imports), project fixes, hint configuration), then maybe even more grouped so the infrastructure gets a clue what are really alternatives. Integrated as jet-main#f4404bba495a; Thanks, markiewb :) Integrated into 'main-silver', will be available in build *201404240001* on http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nightly/ (upload may still be in progress) Changeset: http://hg.netbeans.org/main-silver/rev/f4404bba495a User: Svata Dedic <sdedic@netbeans.org> Log: #231133: increased priority of create* fixes over imports |
Product Version = NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 201306100004) Operating System = Mac OS X version 10.8.4 running on x86_64 Java; VM; Vendor = 1.7.0_21 Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 23.21-b01 Usually I write code like: this.name = "hugo"; then press alt-enter and use NB for the creation of fields (=less typing). However NB suggests "Search Dependency at Maven Repositories" first, then create field. I would like to change the order of the hints, because it is more likely to choose the "create field". Then one could just press alt+enter then enter without hitting the down button.
