I type pretty fast so I want MySQL Workbench to auto-capitalize keywords after I type them. I've seen a solution to a similar question which is MySQLWorkbench-> Preferences-> Query Editor-> Change keywords to UPPER CASE. However this only provides uppercase for autofill. The problem is that the dropdown menu takes a second to load and hinders my work flow.
Is there any solution to this problem? Could I create a trigger for this or is that not helpful?
Not an automatic solution but something useful: look in the Edit -> Format menu. It has entries to upcase + downcase keywords, as well as other formatting commands.

I could use a dummy guide or directions how to add a custom quick fix or if it is even possible.
Let's say I select a text inside code - "foo foo". Now I want to add something before that text and something after. The content before and after remains the same across many files and it has to be done manually.
Is there a way I could write my own quick fix in eclipse, which would add this text automatically.
Ctrl + 1 -> "Add ... before and ... after" -> And get the desired output?
This seems somewhat useful if not the correct thing, but I can't exactly read out how to accomplish this: FAQ How do I implement Quick Fixes for my own language?
Any easier explanations and guides are appreciated. Or what other ways would I have to accomplish this desired behavior without typing/copying repetitive things
Edit: Found this little macro thing which is one way to solve my problem. start with cut, write, paste and end macro. But I'm not sure if this is the best way. Practically Macro
I suggest this solution that allow you to get the result using Eclipse search.
CTRL+H to do a search and choose Files Search
Fill Containing text with "foo foo". Tweak other parameters to get the files you want
Check Regular expression
Click on Replace
Fill With: <prefix>$0<suffix>. For example if you want to substitute "foo foo" with "this is a foo foo example" write this is $0 example
Check Regular expression (if unchecked).
Done. I think that this solution is quite flexible (as long as you are familiar with regexp to get desidered strings) and easy to apply.
I'm very happy with the way eclipse autocompletes for me, but I was wondering if it could do something more...
I often have very similarly named variables, such as myPlayerManagerPane and myCharacterManagerPane, I was wondering if there was a way that would allow me to get half way into the name, type a character or two and then autocomplete. This would let me copy and past lines of code for both, then surgically edit the variable names. It's gotten to the point where I'm trying to do this (I'm autocompleting on autopilot) and getting fun variables such as myCharacterManagerPaneManagerPane as I autocomplete a whole name, halfway through another.
Is there a way around this?
In Window > Preferences > Java > Editor > Content Assist, select "Completion overwrites", instead of "Completion inserts". This would overwrite the entire variable with the new one.
Alternatively, you can press Ctrl to toggle this behaviour when the content assist window pops up.
Your question (or rather, its prelude) can easily be confused with another one; namely,
Say I have two variables variableLabel and variableConfiguration, how can I have Eclipse complete the common prefix of the two variables, i.e. variable, before writing either L or C and having Eclipse "AutoComplete" complete the rest?
This is the question which lead me to this thread, so I feel I must answer it:
In Window > Preferences > Java > Editor > Content Assist, check "Insert common prefixes automatically". Pressing Ctrl+Space now results in the desired functionality.
Relevant StackOverflow question
I use the eclipse File Search option very much to search all files in my workspace for a certain content. But how do I specify that it should only return hits from a fixed search criteria? As an example I would like to find all occurrences of the string:
com.mystuff.data
but I also get all the hits for:
com.mystuff.data.ui
How do I make a "this-string-only-search" when searching files in my workspace??
If I understand you correctly, Eclipse don't provide option to search exact word.
You can use regular expression for it.
You can use \bSearchKeyword\b to find exact word.
I suggest that you use regular expressions.
Here are the steps:
Select the checkbox "Regular expression" which is located beside the "Containing text" field.
In the "Containing text" field write: com.mystuff.data\D\W
Note that:
\D means "no digit"
\W means "no alphanumeric"
In case you would like to refine the regular expression, click Ctrl-SPACE, in order to get the regular expression assistance.
Hope this helps.
Best regards
Maybe slightly off-topic but this got me tripped and brought me here - maybe useful for somebody else:
In the Eclipse standard Find/Replace dialogue the section 'Options' (that includes the option 'Whole Word') may be hidden if the Find/Replace dialogue window was previously resized to a smaller size, without any clue to its presence. Resizing it larger brings back the options section. See: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=355206
and attached shots.
Eclipse standard Find/Replace dialogue search for Whole Word regards several characters (including period) besides a space as a word delimiter, so you indeed cannot distinguish between "com.mystuff.data" and "com.mystuff.data.ui"
E.g. search 'Stack' with option 'Whole Word' checked:
will match:
Stack
Stack overflow
Stack.overflow
Stack,overflow
Stack[overflow]
Stack(overflow)
Stack-overflow
Stack/overflow
will not match:
Stackoverflow
Stack2overflow
Stack_overflow
Simplest way is to add space in the start and end of your search term.
Try SHFT+ CTRL+R, then on right upper angle select Working Set, then name and specify your resources.
Create Work Set as above, then CTRL+H check checkbox All occurency, then select your Work Set. Or maybe you can create work set in CTRL+H.
how is it done? cant find the option?
why is it anyways, that so many people format their code that way?
i really dont like it...
int
foo(int); //dont like
int foo(int); //like
By default, Eclipse shouldn't be reformatting your code unless you have it do so through the Format command.
However, if you're working with other people's codes and want to format it to your liking it is possible to have Eclipse apply formatting.
You can adjust how this works by locating the Code Style section under the language you are using under the Preferences menu.
Start with the Window->Preferences menu. I like to type "code" into the search box to limit the options. Then follow the steps in the image ** You can format almost everything.
I can't answer why some people would like the return value on a line by itself; I've never met anyone that did.
Today I have question about Eclipse. I use this IDE very long and I think it is good, but last time I miss for some functionalities...
Is it possible to set some shortcut which will do something like:
Mark some text ('Hello world'), trigger shortcut (Ctrl+T) and it will do something with that text - in example adds text before and after selected text ($this->_('Hello world'))
?
Thanks for any sugestion !
From this, it appears you have to implement your own command in a plugin. The process looks more involved than simply setting a menu choice.
Equivalent functionality can be defined without commands, if you're willing to give up the keyboard shortcut and use content assist instead.
I'm not sure if it will work with the language you're using (PHP?), but with Java in Eclipse it is possible to use Code Templates.
You would define your own template, when it was applicable and what it would do. This could then be accessed with Ctrl+Space through the possible content assist methods. So in the context of Java statements, I can define:
this.call(${word_selection});
So when I highlight a word, such as "Hello, world", I can use the template to change it to:
this.call("Hello, world");
(There are ways to limit it to only String types instead of word selections, but that will most likely not apply to your language, so I didn't pursue exactly how to do it.)
The Code Templates menu is available through Window->Preferences.
