Netbeans code editing productivity ~ Eclipse's green marker

There's a very useful feature in the Eclipse IDE's code editor that I
find lacking in NetBeans 5.x. It is that green marker (like a
non-blinking cursor) that appears further on the line while editing a
method or constructor's argument list - right behind the closing ')' -
or a String literal - right behind the closing ' " '. You can then hit
'tab' to move the cursor straight to that marker's position and continue
typing; no need to move your hands or fingers to use the mouse or arrow
keys. I found it a very convenient feature in the times that I worked
with Eclipse, since it made typing in code much faster. In the NetBeans
editor I still tend to hit 'tab' quite often, which simply results in
the defined number of whitespaces...
