Quicktips: Nice little features in NetBeans’ JS-Editor

Currently there is a MOOC on Oracle JET (https://blogs.oracle.com/geertjan/entry/sign_up_free_today_oracle), which I am attending. I am not a JS developer for my daily living, so there was no need for me to use the JS editor of NetBeans until now.
