Autocomplete (Content Assist) with any character

[HBegn.2]

The current IDE does not open autocomplete automatically which is frustrating moving from "IntelliJ IDEA" to "Eclipse" it's not like the IDE is incapable of this, this is a working feature allowed for JAVA code just not C/C++

In Cube IDE,

Eclipse > Preferences > C/C++ > Editor > Content Assist - Auto-Activation

Here it only allows you to enable the setting for specific characters like "." "->" "::"

Autocomplete works beautifully for these characters but I want it to work for every character

In Eclipse JAVA

Eclipse > Preferences > Java > Editor > Content Assist - Auto-Activation

And instead of tick boxes, there is a type box allowing you to insert the following string,

"abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ._" Or anything you like.

Why isn't this a feature on C/C++, it would not be hard to implement at all, if anyone has any idea of where the files in eclipse would be so I could modify them and make a plugin to fix this would be appreciated.

I know "CTRL+SPACE" is the default way to activate it, but this is annoying and an awkward keystroke id much rather it just work like in "IntelliJ IDEA"

Hello @HBegn.2,

First of all let me thank you for posting your issue.

• We can provide refers to content assist settings for Java.
• We cannot see a way to customize the trigger characters for C++ editor. Only checkboxes to enable/disable the defaults.

Best regards,

Wijeden,
