Hello all, I am a beginning java developer using netbeans on windows 7. I have looked over the documentation and all of the ide settings and cannot find an answer to a simple question. I am a visual studio guy and am used to using TAB for code completion. The documentation says that you can use TAB for code completion but when I do, it inserts a tab. I have to hit enter (which I hate) to complete the code. I know there has got to be a setting to change this but for the life of me I can’t find it. Any tips would be appreciated. ---- Regards, Galen Henderson Henderson Systems, Inc. 309 N. Broadway - Goreville, IL 62939 618-995-1992 (office) 877-887-2706 (fax)

Thanks for the quick response. I do like ctrl-space to open the code completion window just like VS but hate that I have to press enter to accept the suggestions. Hopefully there is a hidden setting or config file I can edit to change the accept code suggestion instead of enter. Anyone else have any ideas? ---- Regards, Galen Henderson Henderson Systems, Inc. 309 N.

As far as I can remember (and I've been using NB for a bit now) it's always been Ctrl-Space to bring up the code completion. I actually found it quite simple to find this documentation. I went on to NetBeans' site, and just types "Code Completion" in the search field in the top right corner. It listed this page, which is a good reference for people new to the IDE. http://netbeans.org/kb/docs/java/editor-codereference.html I couldn't find anyplace to change this keymapping, but then it's not that big of a deal for me. Thanks, Ed

Is this what you are looking for? Tools (menu) -> Options (menu item) -> Editor (button at top of dialog) -> Code Completion (tab) -> All Languages (drop-down) -> "Insert Single Proposals Automatically" (checkbox) From: Galen Henderson [mailto:address-removed] Sent: 15 March, 2012 5:55 PM To: address-removed Subject: [nbusers] Re: IDE Question Thanks for the quick response.

Thanks for the response. There does not seem to be a setting to change what key completes the code selection. It is set to a . to open the suggestions window, but I cannot find a place to change the key that accepts the suggested code. Looks like this is not going to happen Sad

Haha, you'll survive. NetBeans will change your life! And you can always

Hint: paste the URL of the issue you created here, and ask people to
vote for it. Sometimes people don't get around to filing requests for
things that bother them, but they'll vote if someone else does. It's a
good way to quickly get an issue some visibility by the developers.
