According to http://blogs.jetbrains.com/ruby/2009/08/whats-mining-rails-i18n-support/ there should be a quick fix menu that allows me to create translation keys. It seems to be related to the light bulb but in the latest RubyMine (RM-96.886) I don't seem to get the little lightbulb. Any ideas how to get to that menu?
Make sure you have 'i18n string value' intention enabled in IDE Settings | Intentions | Ruby.
When you're on a string in the code try Alt+Enter (Option+Enter on Mac). It should show the quick-fix popup.

How can I toggle on and off the display of Type hints in VS Code? For example, I've got the code .remoteOf(ClassServiceClient.class) and what I see is .remoteOf(CLAZZ:ClassServiceClient.class) but I can't actually select or seem to interact with the CLAZZ word.
How do I toggle this on and off? It seems useful in certain situations, but it just makes me think I typoed something.
I'm sure this has been asked before, but I haven't been able to come up with a word that seems to describe this feature.
This feature is called Inlay Hints and can be found under the Editor section.
After this, I've gone from displaying clazz:#Log4J2 to #Log4J2, and have enabled the option to display this hint by holding down a set of keys, ctrl + alt by default on Windows.
I'm not sure if this is possible and if this is the right place to ask, but I'd like to give it a try. I'm currently trying Netbeans IDE, coming from Dreamweaver.
In Dreamweaver I can create Code Snippets and bind a key to them. So for example marking a text and pressing CTRL+B then, surrounds the text with the [strong] tag. Or I created a snippet, when I press SHIFT+CTRL+B it adds a [br /] tag at the position of the cursor.
I could not find a way to do this in Netbeans so far. Does anyone know if this is possilbe, and if, how to achieve this?
There is a Plugin available for that,
Go to Tools->plugins and try out TagMyCode
https://tagmycode.com/
I've been using it for quite some time, there is a library of public snippets and the doc is really helpful.
So, on Eclipse Luna, I often encounter the situation where I'm typing a method name, but the first autocomplete suggestion is not the method I am looking for but something that is prefix-equivalent but longer, as in this example:
In the example, I just wanted the element(String name) method, so instead of hitting Return, I type ( instead. The result, quite annoyingly, is this:
This is clearly not what I was looking for. Is there a way to prevent Eclipse from performing auto-complete when I hit open-parenthesis (()?
These are my content assist settings (aparrently, I don't have code recommenders installed at all in this eclipse installation):
In Eclipse 4.11 (2019-03), and possibly earlier, the answer to this is under Preferences → Java → Editor → Content Assist → Disable insertion triggers except 'Enter'. After I checked that box, editing became a lot less annoying.
I have no idea why Eclipse doesn't do it by default. Who types map.put( and wants that to autocomplete to map.compute()?
A hack for this is to change the way Eclipse sorts the proposals.
You can go to Preferences menu and then go to the section for which you want to edit sorting. Then to de Editor section and Content Assist.
For example, for Java editor, it will be Preferences > Java > Editor > Content Assist.
There you will see, more or less in the middle of the window, a section called Sorting and filtering. Inside there is an option called Sort proposalswhich you can change from by relevance to alphabetically. Save an close.
With this you will get the proposals list order alphabetically and element() will be before other methods starting by element.
EDIT:
Tested in Eclipse Luna running in Ubuntu 14.04 and it works. You'll still get your code completed when writing ( but it will be completed with the shorter option available in the proposals list. If you want to use another method, you can continue writing some letters and the shortest option will disapear of proposals as it doesn't match what you are writing.
I guess your problem is the substring matches.
Go Window->Preferences->Java->Editor>Content Assist.
In Sort proposals section uncheck Show substring matches.
I found By relevance more useful then Alphabetically.
I have usually checked hidden Hide proposals not visible in the invocation target, and Hide deprecated references, too.
I hope it help.
The feature you're fighting with is the new "Intelligent code completion" which orders methods based on average usage count. Don't ask me where they get the data. See also here:
http://www.eclipse.org/recommenders/manual/#intelligent-code-completion
To disable the feature go to the preferences page Code Recommenders|Completions and uncheck "Enable intelligent code completion".
Another issue which might negatively affect code completions appears to be 'Java Proposals (Task-Focused)'. For example, it causes map.put() to be replaced with map.compute().
You can disable these from Preferences | Java | Editor | Content Assist | Advanced.

I just started to use Juno for a couple of days, the content assist mechanism seems different from what it behaves before.
For example, if I try to declare a variable
Boolean isVisible
The content assist of Juno will give you a drop-down list with the variable name
isVisibleBoolean
as hint.
And the very annoying thing is that no matter what I typed in(; or SPACE), the "isVisibleBoolean" will be selected.
Does anybody know how can I disable the auto-variable-type-appending thing?
Much appreciated.
I'm using Mac OS X 10.8.1 currently, haven't tested it yet in windows.
Based on the discussion for Eclipse Bug 412992, check your Content Assist Auto Activation settings:
Window->Preferences->Java->Editor->Content Assist
If, for example, characters a-z are listed as "Auto activation triggers for Java", you can remove them and the type name will not be auto-appended to a new variable name when you hit ' ' or ';'. It's up to you to determine the best configuration/tradeoffs for your style based on the available options.
It seems that it is not possible.
See answers to Eclipse Bug 378588: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=378588
This is still a problem in Eclipse 2018-12 and it only seems to occur if you changed the Auto activation triggers for Java setting to e.g. ._abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ, which'll make the Content Assist (almost) always pop up, even without pressing Ctrl+Space (Windows).
There's a new setting that was added in Eclipse 2018-12 and makes it a bit less annoying (mentioned in the comments below the bug report):
In Window - Preferences - Java - Editor - Content Assist tick the Disable insertion triggers except 'Enter' box.
With this setting enabled, Content Assist is still going to trigger (depending on the other settings) but you have to press Enter to accept a suggestion.
Not a perfect solution:
Window->Preference->Java->Editor->Content Assist->Auto activation Triggers for Java: .ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
In this way, only classes and types will be popped up for proposals.
Just a suggestion, the choice is up to you.
What you see there is name completion for object types. And this may often make sense, e.g. pressing Ctrl-Space after List book will complete that to List bookList. For primitive types this is not done, so int count will not get any completion when pressing Ctrl-Space. This would be a (not really good) solution to your problem by declaring the variable as primitve boolean.
What I really recommend as solution is to change your style of writing variable declarations. For your example, write isVisible = false instead, have the editor complain about the missing type declaration, hit Ctrl-1 (from wherever your cursor might be placed), Enter.
This is not a technical problem, but very annoying.
Does anyone know how to turn off or change the color for the name highlight in phpEclipse?
I use white-on-black scheme and this highlight has a white background which makes it unreadable and very ugly.
To better explain which highlight I'm refering to, it's when I move the cursor to a variable/function/method/constant, all other places that name is typed get highlighted.
I've spent a few days going thru the settings many, many times and I haven't found one that changes that specific annoying highligh.
Anyone? please? :)
For Java in Eclipse it is:
Window > Preferences > Java > Editor > Mark Occurrences.
My ruby plug-in has the same option. Do a search in the preferences window for 'Mark Occurrences' and hopefully the php plug-in has the same option.
Thanks, that was it, Mark Occurences.
When I searched thru the options I was looking for color pickers instead of checkboxes :)
It would be nicer to be able to change the highlight color for that, but even removing it is of huge help.
From Eclipse, go to Window > Preference, use the filter field ("type filter text") to search for "color". It will show all the config options related to the colors.
I suppose it's not a problem with phpEclipse, but an incompatibility with another Eclipse plugin.
PS: When you fix the problem please tell us what that setting!
