             Summary: Please add option to automatically add closing tag after 
close the start tag
                 Key: NETBEANS-395
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-395
             Project: NetBeans
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Christian Lenz
         Attachments: visualStudioEndTagCompletion.gif

In Visual Studio (Attachment: Visual Studio endtag completion) you can see 
that, when I type: "<div" and then type ">" (Without quotes) I don't get a 
popup which shows me the end tag, it will add the end tag automatically, which 
is very nice.

For my perspective, many people will write the start tag and the end tag after 
this so why do we need the extra popup? with only one entry? For those who 
don't want/need it, it would be nice if we can have an option for (X)HTML and 
XML to enable/disable: Add end tag automatically. And if you have divs, and you 
forgot a parent element, so you will surround the code. So in my opinion, there 
won't be big problems for this very nice enhancement.

Same exists in WebStorm and I guess in VS Code too.

The current behaviour is: type "<div" and after this type ">" and the code 
completion popup comes up with only one entry, the closing tag. This is not 
needed in my perspective.

If so, then we should make it optional with an option like: "Enable 
automatically closing end tags" or whatever.

This will make you much more productive.


Regards

Chris
