Description
Description:
The "Create Method/Class" quick fix in VSCode Java is a highly useful feature—thank you for including it! I wanted to suggest an improvement to enhance its usability further.
Request:
When a user selects the "Create Method" or "Create Class"quick fix, it would be helpful if the newly generated method automatically became the focused view. This would allow users to immediately start editing the new method, without needing to scroll to find it manually.
Benefit:
By setting focus on the newly created method/class, developers can seamlessly continue their workflow, especially when working in larger files where locating a new method/class can take additional effort.
Thank you for considering this feature enhancement!

Research direction
Start by tracing the VSCode Java "Create Method/Class" quick fix and how it reveals newly generated code. Determine how the editor can focus the created method or class immediately, then verify that both quick-fix variants place focus on the generated declaration without requiring manual scrolling.
