Editor Options: Code Completion
As you type in the Source Editor, you can use the IDE's code completion feature to find code snippets and have them filled in for you automatically. In this tab, you can customize code completion. Some code completion properties apply to all languages, while others are language-specific.
- Language. The language whose global formatting options you want to edit.
All Languages
You can set the following code completion properties for all languages except C++.
- Auto Popup Completion Window. When selected, enables the editor to display a code completion box with
options for how to complete an expression.
This property applies only to editor types that support code completion, such as Java, HTML, and JSP.
- Auto Popup Documentation Window. When selected, the documentation window appears
automatically, otherwise only if it is invoked explicitly (Ctrl-Shift-Space, by default).
- Display Documentation Next to Completion. Specifies that the
code completion window appears next to, rather than above/below, the related code.
- Insert Single Proposals Automatically. When selected, the code completion box does not appear when the IDE is aware of
only one possible completion for the expression. The expression is completed automatically, but
only if you invoke code completion explicitly, not if you simply type "." behind an identifier.
- Case Sensitive Code Completion. If selected, the code completion box only displays results that match the case of the expression
that you are typing.
- Show Deprecated Members in Code Completion. If selected, any deprecrated class elements that are available are shown
in the completion box. Deprecated members are struck through with a line to indicate that they are deprecated.
- Insert Closing Brackets Automatically. When selected, the Source Editor generates the closing parenthesis, bracket,
brace, or quotation mark after you type the first one.
