Not really,
But in Windows/preference/lua/Editor/code assistance, you can enable auto activation for content assist. But this will be only done for some operators like '.'
Thats means if you type "io." you will get content assist without ctrl+space. (But I think this is activate by default)

And i have one more question. I will not add new theme, because it's similar to this theme.
Does LDT supports autocomplete with require?
For example i have file engine.lua:

local M = {} 

M.print = function( text )
 print( text )
end 

M.get = function( get ) 
 return M.get
end

return M

And main.lua:

local test = require("engine")
test.print("hello")

SO when i put "test.*" it will show me all functions in that "engine.lua" : .print, .get ? Without creating a Executiong Environment

it should. It try to guess by analyzing code but sometime the only solution is to help it with some documentation.

I just tested it. And it works ...
You need to do that in a Lua Project and respect build path.
