Eclipse Kepler Content Assist

Newbie & Debugging Questions
#1

Hey Eclipse users :smiley:

I have used IntelliJ for a long time now and thought I’d give Eclipse another try, after I found out that you can finally turn everything dark there too.

Now I probably can get used to that, but I have a problem with the Eclipse Content Assist feature. I turned the delay all the way down so it instantly pops up, which is fine now BUT one thing is still bothering me:

How do you “force” it to always pop up, even for class-member-variables.

Let’s say I have a public/private member Vector2 called “location_on_board”. In IntelliJ once I type “loc” the Content Assist already pops up and I can just press enter and be done with it. In Eclipse I find that it never pops up, only if type “this.” then I get the Content Assist. Is there a way to force it to show Content Assist always? I don’t want to this. every time I guess :slight_smile:

I myself have turned off the auto-popup. I dislike popups that pop up whenever they please, instead I use “ctrl-space” to call it whenever I feel I need the assist.

However I do not know if it can be configured to pop-up on all occasions and all the time.

Hmm ok, ctrl+space works reasonably well but it’s another keypress :smiley:

Maybe I’ll get used to it, thanks!
