There's no need for a regex or adding more complexity. Entering the characters is just a current hack/workaround. What we would have to add is support to support auto-completion at any position after the specified delay.

Good point....would an exclusion string or RegExp work ?

Perhaps it's irrelevant; the concept of content assist 'trigger' sounds like it's language specific (in more ways than one...;-). Is there an LSP concept for this ? To get the best experience we need to have as much context as possible to filter / rank the results (things like whether the editor is expecting a field, methods with different args...).

Just for my interest do you know how close preference change approach comes to mimicking IJ ?

What if I’m using Unicode characters in my identifiers, do I have to enter all 32000? Sorry, that workaround is a bit silly. And it sounds like there are a lot of issues to solve before we even get there anyway.

For at least some editors (java) this can be controlled through preferences...Preferences->Java->Editor->content assist has a value called 'Auto-activation triggers for java'. it's defaults to '.' but if you change it to 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ.' then it'll always invoke content assist (much closer to the IJ feel).

Onwards,
Eric

Then I switched back to Eclipse to do some CDT work and typed the beginning of an identifier and expected content assist to just pop up. I forgot that I had to ask the editor to pop it up for me. Auto content assist is one of those features that once you start using it just becomes natural.
It's also a reason why some people do prefer IJ for Java development. Auto content-assist is a must-have nowadays.
