Description Christian Pontesegger CLA 2021-05-18 10:12:41 EDT 
The current implementation seems to priorize proposals depending on the speed of the ContentAssistProcessor. There is currently no way for

 a) the user via preferences
 b) the processor via extension point/programmatically

to define a priority for the listing of the proposals. There should be a way to define proposals of higher relevance and sort the displayed list according to it.
