Description
### Description
I am a frequent Netbeans user. One of the things I would like to see improved is when I hit code complete for a method and I have text in there that are valid arguments for the method that it would not put some default arguments followed by ) and just use what I have.
The other improvement would be that if the method doesn't have any arguments then when I type ( it would just add the following ) and put the cursor after the ) and not inside ().
I appreciate everyone's hard work.

Research direction
The issue does not name a file, test, or entry point. Start by locating NetBeans code-completion handling for method arguments and inspect how completion inserts default arguments and closing parentheses; done means existing valid argument text is preserved and empty calls place the cursor after the inserted closing parenthesis.
