What you asked for is not possible in NB.

It is possible in some other IDE's (including some Java IDE's).

You were told why it is like that.

You can drop the idea or pick another tool that is better
at doing what you want.

But there is no reason to be surprised over NB's behavior. It is
documented.

Don't blame us because you did not read the documentation for the tool
you chose to use.
