Hello,
I find it very annoying that Eclipse will automatically fill in things as
I type which often causes things to appear twice as I type faster than it
can respond sometimes.
For example, I'll be creating some Java object and it will try and fill in
the parameters being passed based on the object definition... I WANT IT TO
STOP DOING THIS!!!!!
Can anyone tell me how to turn this off in preferences?
Thanks a ton.
Ben

I don't understand - you invoke Content Assist by hitting Ctrl+Space. If
you don't want it, you can simply not invoke it.
Are you saying that Content Assist is invoking by itself even when you
don't use Ctrl+Space?

Well yes, that feature has been there for a long time. But your example
of creating a new object (I assume with a call like SomeType object =
new SomeObject()) does not seem to include the . character that would
trigger Content Assist.
Also, the . character that would trigger automatic Content Assist popup
would never have only one possible choice; when there is more than one
choice, Content Assist will always show a list to allow you to choose or
escape from.
I guess we need a more detailed description (or better yet, screen-cast)
of what you're doing to garner the unwanted behavior.
Hope this helps,
Eric
