[news.eclipse.newcomer] disable content assist auto cycling

I have couple of simple questions (I hope)
1. When scrolling content assist variants (with Up/Down keys), if you reach bottom of the list and press down one more time, you jump to the top automatically. The same in reverse direction. How can I switch this off? If the option is the last - stay on it, no matter how may times I press Down. The same with first item and pressing Up. Also I couldn't find a way to select the first and the last variants of content assist, all combinations Home/Page Up+Alt/Ctrl/Shift do something else.
This is very irritating. when searching for appropriate item in a big list, you have to explicitly note whether the list ended, or find yourself cycling the same list for 2 or 3 times. To workaround this feature you have to remember and type couple of characters to dramatically shorten the list, then press Down several times. Also I noticed that when using PgUp/PgDn to scroll content assist variants, it stays at the bottom, doesn't jump to the top.


2. When content assist variant suits me, the only choice I have is to press Enter so it goes into my code. Can I configure so selected content assist variant goes into my code on any character I type (not requiring to press enter explicitly), in most cases it would be "." (after I found appropriate class or object), "(" (... method name), or " " (... variable name)
This is uncomfortable because I have to press "Enter" instead of continuing to type code.


I can fairly say I'm a former .net developer, so I'm a bit addicted to their keyschemes
