Description haris neziric CLA 2010-06-23 10:07:11 EDT
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 :)

Hmm I tested this with RC4 and surprisingly it works for me now :) Someone else can confirm this?

write:
mysqli_

run CA
write afff (note three f). Code assist window disappear
remove two f, code assist will not show up again

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