    Eclipse

    I figured this doesn't belong in the Java section.

    I was at a conference and someone showed me a neat way to auto complete lines.

    IE) You type "sysout" and then hit space, or maybe ctrl + space or something, and it turned it into "System.out.println".

    It's driving me crazy that I can't remember...anyone know where to find a list of these commands and what hotkey it is to make it auto complete?

    Close, but those are keyboard shortcuts. Not at all what I was asking for.

    I am asking where to find the list of the short terms like "sysout" and what they contain.

    Re: Eclipse

    While I am sure it is in there, I have no idea where to find it. I don't know the actual term for the file, so I check the random "Tips and Tricks" sections and other keywords that catch my eye, but have been unable to find anything of use.


    I also spent quite a while going through that about an hour ago.

    C#2005 does that too.

    mb<tab>
    gives you
    Messagebox.Show("[Type message]");

    They are called "Snippets" and they are almost universally pointless.
    I don't live here any more.
