Is there a plan to finally implement the auto-completion setting in Cube IDE, without the need of always pressing "CTRL" + "Shift" for this?

It was discussed over the web for over 5 years already, that the CubeMX doesn't have this simple feature of giving text suggestions over the most (recently) used variable names and HAL-functions etc. WITHOUT having to press "CTRL" + "Space" first. AVR Studio and other well known platforms offer this for more than 10 years already, and ST once promised to implement this finally as well. Really hoped to find this in CubeIDE now, but it's still not there, yet.

CubeIDE is Eclipse. Have you checked if an add-on is already available for this?

Thanks Pavel for your answer.

Yes, I was looking around but the problem is IMHO, that you can't enter every letter (abcdefgh...) as "trigger" in the content assist, because there is a limitation in CubeIDE. The trick with entering all letters was proposed by many users for Eclipse already, but if I'm right, this can't be done in CubeIDE.

I'm just curious, why this is not possible, as this facilates the work strongly, when writing C code! And it seems to be an easy thing to implement, otherwise all the other programming tools wouldn't offer this neither (some of them for more than 10 years already)...
