Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 200803050006) Java: 1.6.0_03; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 1.6.0_03-b05 System: SunOS version 5.11 running on x86; UTF-8; en_US (nb) If you type "wh" in the editor and press Ctrl+Space, a list of suggestions (of "while" cycle types) based standard abbreviations is displayed. But the question is - is the "standard" also "desired" in this case? A user should be allowed to choose which abbreviations are included in the hints (and for example what is the default order of the hints). It should be possible to assign a flag to each abbreviation saying if it is included in the code completion hints (maybe check-boxes in the rows of table in Tools>Options>Editor>CodeTemplates for the beginning?).
Yes, we definitely want something like this and the infrastructure is ready. We just don't have the UI. Moreover, in java files for example there are several different contexts depending on where in the file you are and it would be nice if code templates could be enabled disabled for those contexts. Example, it makes no sense to allow 'sout' template outside of code block.
