One thing I change everytime I have a new userdir for NetBeans is the code completion sensitivity. I think it's just much more productive to use the case insensitive code completion - typing the case correctly is another thing I need to think of when writing code. This is especially useful when I write classes like StringTokenizer, BufferedReader, etc. You can turn off the sensitivity here:
I wonder if there is anyone who actually needs the case sensitivity. As far as I know in NetBeans 6.0 we plan to switch this option to insensitive by default.
But in codes like:
MyClass myClass = null
It´s not more confortable use case sensitive? More faster type myC + {ctrl+space} and enter...
Or MyC + {ctrl+space} if u wanna to declare another var! :P
I don´t know that in practice, maybe when i come back to use netbeans (Not working with java right now) i try!

I have been living on NB6 daily builds, and so I always have to perform the opposite operations that you do, Roumen :-P
You often get a lot more false positives with case insensitive code completion, which I often find it quite annoying compare to pressing the SHIFT button ;-)
Firstly, you might want to ask this in the NetBeans mailing list instead - this is Roumen's blog, after all ;-)
Secondly, I wonder what kind of easier ways are you proposing against the current facility? Personally I found that sufficient and easy enough to work with.
