NetBeans bugs/misconceptions list
Note: This post has been created a few days back, so needn't necessary reflect the current status of NB 6.1 beta. In fact, I would be more than happy to be blamed for being "lama" with the lack of knowledge of this and that killer feature of NetBeans...
As Jiri Pisa recently became a true fan of ruby, we started to discuss this language almost every day. I summed some of our findings related to the best ruby editor currently available - NetBeans. Note, that the list is not ruby specific only. I will keep updating this list until NetBeans is perfect. :)
Domain: Setup
- on Mac: if you turn on Eclipse key binding it's Windows one not Mac OS one
- keyboard shortcut card (pdf) is static - default Windows eg. doesn't represent the current status. Looks like somebody made his life easier. :P
- no setup filtering aka Eclipse - difficult to find the setting (example: try to change key mapping for "Format")
Domain: Ruby editor
-caching of context help - shows even deleted classes/attributes in content assistant
-quotes pairing madness - duplicates the second quote when closing the first one
missing features
-content assistant in script/console - example: Foo.column_names
-refactoring - file rename - update require clause when changing ruby file name
More to come....
