Hey there.
When I first tried out Eclipse, I thought it was a pain in the but at times, but after I configured the Text Editor, I like it a lot more now (and I'm thinking about switching over from NetBeans with it). But I'm still having some issues with it.
For your Intellisense feature (I'm not sure what it's called in this IDE), is there a way I can disable the "Enter Key," for it? What happens is when I'm typing up a line of code, the thing is still there, but I want to make a new line, so I press enter, but instead of my cursor going to that newline, it inserts whatever was at the top of that list. I find it useful for hints on spelling things, and what options I have available, but those accidental insertions really annoy me.
The other main issue I have is when it comes to inserting parenthesis. When I type "(", it automatically closes it for me, even though I have the option checked off in preferences. And then when I type a closing parenthesis, it doesn't just skip over the existing one, so I'm left to press the "Delete" key to get rid of it.
Thanks for your time.

It's called, "Content Assist."
I hit the escape key to dismiss content assist. There might be a better
way. I find it occasionally annoying too.
