When i try expand code template (CT) inside another code template via TAB, jumping to next variable occurs instead of inner CT expansion.. See http://i.imgur.com/enccV82.png (i have CT "this" which expands to "$this->") I have noticed this behaviour since 7.4 and its present in 8.0rc as well
Doesn't work in Java either, probably some general problem?
Unfortunately, this is as designed behavior. See issue #240327.
Well, for the other one its desired behaviour, for me (as PHP developer) its very annoying and undesirable behaviour. Seems like there should be an option how to deal with CT inside another CT when expand key is pressed. Maybe there should be even per template option like "can expand inside another template" resp. "do not expand inner templates".
OK. Marking as a possible enhancement for the next release.
That was painfull months for me with 8.0. This feature makes me downgrade back to 7.4 :( Im using lot of "t" => "$this->" CT like icaine. In "if" CT is only one variable so there is TAB totaly useles befor I hit ESC (ESC is uncofortably on corner of keyboard). After finishing if condition in 7.4 I just need hit enter (pretty confortably on right pinky without mooving hand) once or twice to finish CT and cursor is on right spot inside if block. In 8.0 I need to interupt "if" CT with ESC so theres no user for enter after finishing condition, need move hand closer to arrow keys, hit down key and back adjust hand to right place on keyboard. It looks like silly problem but CT and autocomplete can save lot of time while typing and not making typos. One solution should be option, like icaine said. Another solutions should be not allow inner CT expand only immediately after CT expand. Btw, if variable in CT is abbeviation of another CT thats imo bad design of CTs ;)
It's damnly frustrating behaviour, i partially bypassed it with AutoHotkey's hotstrings, but because of one guy had a problem with template named "n" that could be easily changed to "nn", we have to hit espace key like tens time a day since we cannot change the behaviour at all.. Another template i use is "fncc" for inserting closure function definiton and its just #%^@#*$ to have to hit escape every time after i use code comletation because otherwise TAB would just jump the cursor to another parameter..

(In reply to Dusan Balek from comment #4) > OK. Marking as a possible enhancement for the next release. This "feature" - issue #240327 is the most annoying change in netbeans until 5.5. I use netbeans only for java development. Our use case which was destroyed as with this feature is described in duplicate bug 247147.
This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue. Thanks for your cooperation, NetBeans IDE 8.2 Release Boss
