According to the http://wiki.netbeans.org/TS_73_JavaEditor#Test_suite:_Code_Templates test suite (3.10 test case : "Defining Custom Code Templates" : - create a new template (e.g. with the "forx" name) - try to invoke the new code template as an abbreviation (type "for" and CTRL+SPACE) Result : it shows templates like "form", "forc", ..."forv", not the newly defined "forx" template.
Originally, custom code templates were not intended to appear in code completion. However, we can make it an enhancement for the next release.
