In the new Eclipse JDT "subword completion" is supported. Can this be implemented in NetBeans too? More details (with screenshots) at http://blog.deepakazad.com/2012/05/subwords-completion.html
Created attachment 128231 [details] Proposed patch for subword completion @NetBeans-Dev: Please have a look at the patch and discuss. I know that this is an enhancement and currently there is feature freeze. Maybe a feature for the next release? Examples for supported completion ('|' shows the carret): org.openide.util.Utilities.acoh| -> actionsForPath java.lang.System.out| -> setOut argex| -> IllegalArgumentException java.util.Collections.que| -> asLifoQueue TODO: * add option in options dialog (or commandline switch/feature toggle) * improve performance (regex is compiled every time) * 'better' matching results must be at the top of result list (i guess this is out of scope of this issue)
