EDIT: I've found other posts like these except them saying the postfix content assist appending is a bug. I disagree but I'd like a way to disable the feature. Or at least make it so "space" and "." don't trigger the proposal. I have looked and looked all over the internet for how to turn off this annoying "feature" off and it really does seem like you can't. I have content assist set to pop up on every character and this is the only annoying thing about it. The same issue, makes autocompletion nearly unusable.

You don't have to disable it - just don't even invoke it if not needed. Or did you maybe add additional trigger characters which always invoke content assist? In that case, using a longer auto-activation delay might help. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 412992 *** |
When coding, I have Content Assist to help me remember variable names and Object types and whatnot, but it's a bit intrusive in the sense that just pressing "space" will commit the first suggestion. I want the option to disable committing on the space key along with other keys. I'll demonstrate an example (for Java) below: //This is the desired text DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat("#.##"); //If I type it out, when I type df[space], it will format like this: DecimalFormat dFormat = new DecimalFormat("#.##"); I could disable content assist and the problem will disappear but I won't be able to code efficiently and effectively. Thanks!
