I want to get rid of privacy! - methods set to private by IDE
lazarus / 9-Editor

The IDE has a genius function: If you write a new method, you can
click in German "Quellcode vervollständigen", which means in English
something like "complete source code". This makes, that the new method
is written or corrected into the interface block. I use this
frequently.

The new method is set to "private". For my style of programming, which
likes to work in topic-units, - a no go. I do not have any private
methods at all, because I use them all around from my app. So my
question: Is there a way to get rid of this automatically written word
"private" in a better way than to delete it by hand? I deleted it
thousands of times in the meanwhile.

Not tested, but:

Tools > Options
Codetools > Class Completion

Default section of methods => select from drop down.

hm, I found it.
I changed it. I restarted the IDE.

It does not work.
They are still set to private.

Can somebody please try it?
I have a German version, there it is
Werkzeuge
einstellungen
Codetools
Klassenvervollständigung

Did you only quote your own post on purpose? 🤔
