Changed subcomponent to code completion. |
A small enhancement to the automatic )'s in 3.6: I often find myself modifying a line such as: System.out.println ("Thingy: " + c.getClass().getName()); ^ by putting the caret at the ^ and changing it to: System.out.println ("Thingy: " + (c != null ? c.getClass.getName() : "null"))); When I type the closing ) for the ? : clause, it just overwrites the existing ), so none is added. This is non-optimal, because I end up retyping the rest of the )'s so I can add one at the end. Two possibilities for handling this situation: 1. (simple) - detect if all the remaining characters on the line are )'s followed by a ; and if so, allow the insertion. 2. (not as simple) - detect if there are an unbalanced number of parentheses on the line (possibly handling split lines?) and allow the insertion if it will make them balance
