    <p>In Eclipse Oxygen, I've enabled intellisense-style suggestions for Java by going to</p> <pre><code>Window -&gt; Preferences -&gt; Java/Editor/Content Assist </code></pre> <p>and setting the following</p> <pre><code>Auto activation delay (ms) -&gt; 0 Auto activation triggers for Java -&gt; .(abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ </code></pre> <p><em>source = <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2943131/eclipse-intellisense">Eclipse Intellisense?</a></em></p> <p>This works brilliantly, apart from one annoying problem. When I hit <kbd>spacebar</kbd>, the token being typed is autocompleted with whatever is at the top of the suggestions list. Fair enough, except that sometimes I'll type a class/variable name with an exact legal match, but this <em>won't</em> appear as the top suggestion. So when I naturally hit <kbd>spacebar</kbd> Eclipse inserts something completely wrong.</p> <blockquote> <p><strong>E.G.</strong> after typing <code>Cookie</code> I'll hit <kbd>spacebar</kbd> and get <code>CookieMonster</code>.</p> </blockquote> <p>This seems like a bug, and happens often enough to be annoying, but even despite this <strong>I don't want <kbd>spacebar</kbd> to trigger autocomplete in general</strong>. I may want to type a variable name which hasn't been declared yet, or something similar. I want to use autocomplete as a helper tool, but my natural typing should <em>always</em> take priority over it.</p> <p>I'd like to stop <kbd>spacebar</kbd> triggering autocomplete, and either fall back to using <kbd>enter</kbd>, or better still trigger autocomplete with a <kbd>custom</kbd> key not used in ordinary typing. <strong>Is any of this possible?</strong></p> <p>I've played around with all the settings in <em>Content Assist</em> to no avail. Googling the question just returns a bunch of results about disabling the autocomplete feature.</p> <p><strong>UPDATE</strong> </p> <p>This issue is present in the last 6 versions of Eclipse - <em>Oxygen</em> [4.7] <em>Neon</em> [4.6] <em>Mars</em> [4.5] <em>Luna</em> [4.4] <em>Kepler</em> [4.3] and <em>Juno</em> [4.2]</p> <p><a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=348857" rel="nofollow noreferrer">The thread on the issue tracker</a> discussed in the accepted answer and various comments seems to suggest that this issue has been acknowledged. </p> <p>If any Eclipse devs happen to be reading, all I can say is, please consider the benefits of fixing this. </p> <p>Sure, the plugin in the accepted answer, and other plugins linked to in the bug thread, fix it. But how many other people facing this issue either know about it or will bother to find and install it? </p> <p>Autocomplete is a feature you want to work intuitively and flawlessly out of the box in any modern IDE. This is the case in IntelliJ IDEA and so it's currently a <em>very</em> convincing reason to switch...</p>

    1. CO+1 I was just fighting with that very same problem... any luck on solving this? It is very annoying to press space and get something that you did not want (you did not select it!)... This may be good for "Type declaration", but for "variable names" is not reasonable.

    2. COUnfortunately not. Do you know if the same problem exists in the latest version Kepler (4.3)? I haven't upgraded yet but if so I will update the question

    3. COUnfortunately that very same behavior takes place in Kepler (4.3)... It is really a pity. I like a lot that auto activation but it is really annoying having it making such a selection in several situations. My temporary solution is to increase slightly the activation time, so that I write most of the new variable name... but this does not work always. I will research a bit further this issue, and probably be reporting this to Eclipse, since I do think it is a bug not a feature.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
