Netbeans Intellisense for Rails

Question

Has anybody figured out a way to make the Netbeans intellisense for ruby and rails better? It either has too many options in the list (which I understand is a problem since it is a dynamic language). Or it has no options in the list, as if it is not dynamic enough to find everything.

Are there any hacks to make it better, or is this just something that needs to be improved within the Netbeans source code? I'm currently using 6.8.

Please spare me the posts about how I don't really need to use intellisense, and I should use vim or emacs. I'm sure the vim programmers are 10 times more productive than me with all their cool shortcuts, but I have no desire to learn these tools.

Answer 1

if you click on options, in tools and select options. Then go to miscellaneous tab, and select ruby.

enable extended type interface (may be slow) check on for methods.

I tried doing this it is giving me better intellisense with methods like p, and protected methods as well.

I am using netbeans 6.8 and I suppose this would offer you better intellisense.
