Behavior of content assist [message #916502] Wed, 19 September 2012 04:57 Go to next message

Is there any way to change the key behavior of the content assist of java?

I'm using the Juno release, and I'd like to make so that the only key that confirms adding the content selected in the content assist window to be <Enter> and nothing else.

Pressing <Spacebar> or <=> will confirm the selection and add space or = after it as well, but that's bad when used with auto-completion with a trigger like ".(abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ@" (it works like intellisense of Visual Studio), because as simple as "String s = null;" forces me to press <ESC> then space after the "String s" or it'll just name it "String string ", which is not the behavior I want or expect.

Thanks in advance.
