Description Markus Gebhard CLA 2005-11-04 15:03:02 EST 
The new commit comment templates in Eclipse 3.2M3 are very nice. They would be 
even more useful if they could be accessed by autocompletion from within the 
comment textarea.

Example:
  - I have a comment template: "Organize imports".
  - Opening the commit dialog I just type 'o' and hit Ctrl-Space.
  - Autocompletion/content assist pops up and I can easily pick the "Organize 
imports" template (or one of the other previously entered comments).
  - I hit Enter to select the template
  - Ctrl-Enter will close the dialog and perform commit.
 
This makes only 4 keystrokes to do the job. Also this would be more smilar to 
how Eclipse works in other editors/dialogs.

Good idea but we don't have the time to address it. Patches will be accepted.
Comment 2 Michael Valenta CLA 2006-06-16 10:56:59 EDT 
Currently, we do not have the manpower to address this issue. Patches are welcome.
Comment 3 Denis Roy CLA 2009-08-30 02:17:22 EDT 
As of now 'LATER' and 'REMIND' resolutions are no longer supported.
Please reopen this bug if it is still valid for you.
