I can't find either the term autocomplete or intellisense in Preferences->General->Keys in Eclipse 3.6.2.
I don't want to press enter to select an autocomplete item when I write code. Can I configure Eclipse to accept an autocomplete item with the tab button?

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.
Check the option " General > Editors > Text Editors > Insert spaces for tabs ": if unchecked, it will display tabs, not space.
I believe you are looking for "word completion" Left Alt + / though you can change it in "Preferences->General->Keys" to be whatever key combo. Pressing / multiple times cycles through the different suggestions. It's not very intelligent. For example if you have String apple; and double apps; and you type double x = a and then Alt + / eclipse might suggest apple instead of apps, even though apple is an String.
Edit: Looks like it's ctrl + / on some computers.
