This feature is enabled by default. Cannot be really switched off.
(Disablind it support modules might work).
In Tools > Options > Editor > Code Templates at the bottom of the
dialog, the action key <Tab> (by default) can be changed though.
If I remember well there was a time when tha expand action was simply
the <space> key.

Hello,
I have been using tab to expand "sout" to System.out.println(""); for
several years. Since I have never used Eclipse/IntelliJ-IDEA, it would
be difficult for me to have them confused with NB.
As yet noone has responded to the question of how that feature gets
toggled.

Chris,
I cannot recall a time when TAB expanded anything in NB...Did you mean
"sout" + CTRL+SPACE? Because that is how I remember it always working
and how it currently works. Is it possible that you are confusing the
template expansion from Eclipse/IntelliJ-IDEA and NB? 😂 That's why I
try not to switch IDEs very often...😉

Hello, in messing around about other problems, I seem to have
disabled code template expansion. (Typing "sout" +tab always used
to produce "System.out.println("");" I can't find a Tools/Options
setting that turns this feature back on. The Apache page
https://netbeans.apache.org/kb/docs/php/code-templates.html
doesn't include this information, and I couldn't find a post that
provides it.
