593 PointsError using Shift TAB
When using jshell and typing pd.fill( If I press shift TAB I'm getting this error.
Unexpected character after Shift-Tab. Use "i" for auto-import or "v" for variable creation. For more information see:
/help shortcuts
I cant get the other public void for fill to appear. Anyone else having this problem?

561 PointsI too am having this issue. I googled the error and this page, funny enough, is the first result. I'll come back and edit/add if I find any more information.
EDIT: So I didn't find anything online, but I realized in the next part of the video, I just hit tab instead, and it's showing the full menu, even though I only hit tab when I put in
And I'm only hitting Tab, not shift-tab. I can't explain why, but I imagine when using jshell in a non-browser environment perhaps it still needs the difference between tab and shift-tab.
