Can we set a timeout for the Eclipse function hint list?

is it possible to set a timeout for the Eclipse function hint list?

Waiting for the full function list to load simply pisses me off...:(

Solution

  • First, you can trigger the content assist immediately by hitting Ctrl-Space.

    Second, you can set the delay under Window->Preferences->Java->Editor->Content Assist->Auto-Activation. Non-Java editors may have separate settings. You can type search terms on top of the prefence window to see all related settings.
