NetBeans curly braces auto-closing

Question

In the last time I often initialize arrays in this form :

int[] test = new int[]{1,2,3};

When I type '[', NetBeans immediately put the closing brace.

The question is - which is the macro to do the same job with curly braces ?

Tools > Options, select Editor in toolbar, go for Code Completion tab. You will see that Insert Closing Brackets Automatically, now just Press Enter It will automatically add closing bracket, — V A S, Jun 16 '15 at 11:47

Select from menu Tools > Options, select Editor in toolbar, go for Code Completion tab. You will see that Insert Closing Brackets Automatically is already automatically checked by default.

There was a guy, who asked an analogical question a while ago. There was no helpful answer. I guess that means that we should look for that in future versions.

When you hit enter after typing the opening curly brace, the one that closes is automatically added. Not before. – Arturo Rosales Baez Feb 06 '19 at 00:10
