I am new to Eclipse and I want to know if it's possible to have the completion window open up automatically while I type (Visual Studio style) and not by clicking Ctrl + Space?
Open menu Window, then Preferences. Follow path Java -> Editor -> Content assist. Now mess around with the settings to find your ideal setup. I believe what you'll want is to deactivate Insert single proposals automatically.
It is possible. You can simply write: .abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
in Auto activation triggers for Java
field, under Preferences
> Java
> Editor
> Content Assist
.
While writing Java code, after the dot .
the window opens automatically after a configurable amount of time (default is 200 ms.)
In general, what you can do is add an auto activation trigger, for example _
, so when you want the windows to popup, you type and delete that character (althought I don't think that's better than CTRL
+ SPACE
).
