Description Lars Vogel

I only noticed today that the MANIFEST.MF editor offers code completion for Require-Bundle and others.

We should enable content assists by default for the normal keys. I suggest the alphabet plus "." and ",".

I've also never noticed the content assist there before - auto activation should be great for discoverability.

Alphabet characters felt very intrusive, I've settled on the separation chars: ':', ' ', ',', '.', ';', '='

Ok, let's start with this, even though I'm a big fan of all characters should trigger code completion similar to IntelliJ.

Thanks, Julian.
