Description everflux 2013-04-20 14:24:36 UTC 
When invoking "Generate" (alt-insert) I would like to filter the items by typing the first letters.
F.E. alt-insert, "set" should reduce the list to 
- setter
- getter and setter (not sure about this, though)

Use case: I can quickly selection the option without having to use the up/down keys or reverting to mouse input.

This might become even more useful if the "generate" menu is receiving more options.

Similar to https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=181234 ?
Comment 2 everflux 2013-06-18 14:01:40 UTC 
Yes similar to #181234 but not the same: The other issue is about the overriding, I am talking about the dialog before.

alt-insert: "what do you want to do"

-> override
-> generate...

I would like to type "ov" to filter the list to show "override method" only, hit enter and can override now or "set" and the list shows "generate setter" and "generate getter and setter".

#181234 is about filtering on the "override method" dialog in my understanding.
