Line completion with semicolon at the end [message #1779712]

Hi,

in an earlier version of code recommenders, I'm using the completion of a line with an semicolon with a short cut. Unfortunately, I don't find this shortcut in the current version of this plugin. Under preferences > general > keys exists in the version 2.4.7 the option/command "complete line". Did you rename this entry in the newest release?

Does exists another possibility for realizing this behavior?

Best Regards
Mathias

No. Code Recommenders does not, by itself, contribute any shortcuts (except for Ctrl+Alt+Space for Snipmatch); these are all contributed by the Java Development Tools, upon which Code Recommenders is built.

That being said, I am unsure what shortcut/behavior you are referring to: In Eclipse Neon (ships with Code Recommenders 2.4.0), the Keys preference page doesn't show a command matching either complete, line, or content assist and uses a semicolon in its shortcut.

Can you please describe what this command you are after actually does? Maybe it is contributed by a third-party plug-in (as I didn't find it in Eclipse Neon)?

Hi,

this command is doing the following: jump to the end of the line, print a semicolon or comma there (depends on the context of line) and stay there. Another option is to add a new line.

It's very simple but saving time.

You are right, this command was not part of code recommenders. I kept this wrong in my mind.
By now I found the plugin. It's called "completeline" and exists on eclipse marketplace. Unfortunately the last update was in year 2016, so I don't know if somebody maintained the project. Perhaps somebody could take this feature into code recommenders. What do you think?

Best Regards
Mathias

I don't think Code Recommenders would be the right place. While we have some functionality that has nothing to do with making recommendations like the subwords-matching of proposals, we are in fact thinking about removing this non-core functionality, now that JDT has learned (with Eclipse Neon) to do substring-matching as well. The code is really hard to maintain, as annoying developers with misranked proposals is pretty easy and JDT's ranking heuristics are a somewhat moving target.

Maybe you could open an enhancement request for JDT instead, along with a good description what the command should do and what the shortcut should be (must not clash on any supported OS).

Hope this helps.
