Description haris neziric

auto complete in pdt works really fast in 2.2 version. but, i think it could be enhanced even further.

for example...

if you type a method/function name - you're provided with a lot of options matching what you typed, which narrows down as you type more characters. 
but, if you type one character too many, and method/function in code does not exist, when you hit backspace, you should be provided with code assist again, instead of hitting ctrl+space to get that dialog back

I think it would be nice enhancement for new release. Of course if it's possible to implement :)

Hi, can you see if my change in https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/c/66555/ would be a solution to this? Thank you
