Attachments: Comparing code assistance object name proposal in Java and CND

Description gromit190 2017-06-26 08:16:35 UTC 
When developing a Java project in NetBeans, Code Assistance (ctrl+space) proposes that the name of an object is equal to the name of the class which the object will be an instance of. Example:

MyClass myClass;

When typing this, I could use code assistance to generate the variable (object) name for me. I've become absolutely addicted to this feature, because I usually name my objects like this (when coding Java) and it seems very common to do so.

I would love to see the same feature in NetBeans CND
