Description Roman Strobl 2005-10-25 16:25:04 UTC 
[NetBeans 200510231800; FC4; JDK 1.5.0_05]

Issue Summary:
--------------
In NetBeans 4.1 it was possible to invoke TAB in code completion to get the
common option typed in. It doesn't work in 5.0 anymore.

Steps to Reproduce:
-------------------
1. Create a new class.
2. Type in "import jav|"
3. Invoke code completion on place designated by |.
4. Press TAB.
-> "java" should be prefilled as it's the common text from the available options.

I just verified this to be a problem in 20051025....
I, too miss the tab complete.  Switching from different IDE's, I find myself
hitting tab out of instinct to invoke code completion. This just seems to be one
of those 'universal' keys. (Kinda like Control-C for copy | or kill on Unix :))
Comment 2 Dusan Balek 2005-11-08 14:18:12 UTC 
Should be fixable into 5.0 - requires a small change to the code completion SPI
(see issue 68235).
Comment 3 Dusan Balek 2005-11-11 13:28:39 UTC 
Fixed in [maintrunk].
