Eclipse Intellisense?

How do I tell Eclipse to automatically make suggestions as I type? I'm looking for a Visual Studio Intellisense-like feature with Resharper.

Currently I have to press CTRL+Space each time.

I've get closer to VisualStudio-like behaviour by setting the "Autocomplete Trigger for Java" to

.(abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ 

and setting delay to 0.

Now I'd like to realize how to make it autocomplete method name when I press ( as VS's Intellisense does.
