Workflow in Editor was significantly improved in 6.0/6.1 time frame. But there are still many small annoyances and adoption blockers which needs improvement. Some shortcuts are hard to remember. Some features are not well integrated together. Setting are sometimes hard to discover. This is umbrella issue for these small things, which fixed together can significantly improve editor usability.
This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue. Thanks for your cooperation, NetBeans IDE 8.2 Release Boss
