Supressing content assist auto activation in DSL comments [message #1840360]

Hello,

I activated auto activation characters in my editor via

    @Override
    public void configure(Binder binder) {
        super.configure(binder);
binder.bind(String.class).annotatedWith(com.google.inject.name.Names.named((XtextContentAssistProcessor.COMPLETION_AUTO_ACTIVATION_CHARS))).toInstance(".");
  }

My problem now is, that the content assist is not triggered by the configured characters in comment sections in my DSL. Is it possible to suppress this behavior?

Thanks for your help
Best regards,
Martin

HI i have no idea on this. i assume you have to have a look into eclipses code yourself.

maybe you can customize
org.eclipse.jface.text.contentassist.new IContentAssistProcessorExtension() {...}.isCompletionProposalAutoActivation(char, ITextViewer, int)
somehow, although it looks quite internal

Need professional support for Xtext, Xpand, EMF?
