Again sorry for the noise but I just did a fresh install and number 2 is a problem. By default, a user will not be able to write a simple source line such as:
int* var;
They will get a popup in the lower right hand corner of the screen asking to choose between an action.
Is there any way to turn this popup off?
I looked in the new and noteable features for Luna, and did not see this little popup as a new feature.
Thanks,
Joseph Henry.

Scratch Number 2 from the list. This seems to be associated with some example plugin.
Number 1 is a real issue though.
Sorry for the noise,

Hey guys,
I just upgraded to Luna and I would like to point out a few things that seem to be off.
1.)
When you download the Luna C/C++ Eclipse package from the eclipse download page, the CDT update site is not included by default. I had to manually add
http://download.eclipse.org/tools/cdt/releases/8.4 to the list of available sites. Really not sure why this is not included by default.
2.)
I know in Java using the * is not very common, but in C it is. In Luna, There are shortcuts for “Import” and “Add to Working Set” mapped to keys [Shift 8 + I] and [Shift 8 + W]. Now whenever I want
to type a *, I get a popup in the bottom right that prompts me to either pick “Import” or “Add to Working Set”. This is quite annoying and I really think should be turned off by default in the C/C++ perspective.
These 2 things could really turn off newer users (as well as veterans).
Thanks,
Joseph Henry.
