I have couple of simple questions (I hope)
1. When scrolling content assist variants (with Up/Down keys), if you
reach bottom of the list and press down one more time, you jump to the top
automatically. The same in reverse direction. How can I switch this off?
If the option is the last - stay on it, no matter how may times I press
Down. The same with first item and pressing Up.
Also I couldn't find a way to select the first and the last variants of
content assist, all combinations Home/Page Up+Alt/Ctrl/Shift do something
else.
This is very irritating. when searching for appropriate item in a big
list, you have to explicitly note whether the list ended, or find yourself
cycling the same list for 2 or 3 times. To workaround this feature you
have to remember and type couple of characters to dramatically shorten the
list, then press Down several times.
Also I noticed that when using PgUp/PgDn to scroll content assist
variants, it stays at the bottom, doesn't jump to the top.
2. When content assist variant suits me, the only choice I have is to
press Enter so it goes into my code. Can I configure so selected content
assist variant goes into my code on any character I type (not requiring to
press enter explicitly), in most cases it would be "." (after I found
appropriate class or object), "(" (... method name), or " " (... variable
name)
This is uncomfortable because I have to press "Enter" instead of
continuing to type code.
I can fairly say I'm a former .net developer, so I'm a bit addicted to
their keyschemes

You can't.

Home and End work for me.

You can accept a proposal with '.' and it then also opens content
assist for you again after the '.'.

A good thing to do would be to give some clearly visible warning that
the end has been reached, just like Firefox does if you use the search
mechanism with Ctrl-f.
