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.
Microsoft Visual Studio has a famous feature called IntelliSense. Eclipse has a similar built in feature called "Code Assist" which I find very useful. Code Assist is triggered automatically in a number of situations (for example, typing the "." after a variable name or class name).
Step 1: Open your Eclipse or Spring Tool Suite, then go to the Window > Preferences as shown in the below image. Step 2: In the next screen go to the Java > Editor > Content Assist > Auto activation triggers for Java as shown in the below image.
To enable the Content Assist window to open automatically, go to the Content Assist Preferences page, accessed from Window | Preferences | PHP | Editor | Content Assist and mark the 'Enable auto-activation' checkbox.
IntelliSense is a general term for language features, including intelligent code completion (in-context method and variable suggestions) across all your files and for both built-in and third-party modules. VS Code supports code completion and IntelliSense for Java through Language Support for Java™ by Red Hat.
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.
