Build Identifier: I20100608-0911 In PHP editor the code assist is too intrustive. You just need to enter a character that the PHP proposal window shows up. This is annoying and a source of frequent errors while typing. Just like other editors (i.e.: Java editor, JSP editor, XML editor, JavaScript editor...) I think the code assist should popup only when Ctrl+Space is invoked. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. create a PHP file and try to write in something; for instance, type letter 'd': the code assist kicks in almost immediately.
Actually this is enabled by default since many users asked this, but... good news is that you can disable it very simply. In preference page go to PHP | Editor | Content Assist and disable the auto activation option
Thank you Roy, I didn't notice it. Sorry for filing this "bug"... However, I'm still convinced that the auto activation should be optional and not the default value, in order to have a consistent behavior with the rest of the platform. If someone wants it, he/she can enable in the options... So, I'm changing this report a bit, feel free to close it again if you don't plan to do any intervention.
This option is enabled by default for many years. Wont fix.
As Michal wrote this has been for many years as most users like it that way. There are 2 ways out if you don't like it - first one is to disable the auto-activation, and the other one is to enlarge the delay so that it will not show so fast as soon as a letter is being typed. Closing the issue
