  • Automatic completion for items - Content Assist automatically inserts single suggestions in the code.
  • Qualifying non-unique names - Content Assist qualifies data items whose names are not unique.
  • Configuration preferences for Content Assist - enable you to configure what suggestions appear in the completion lists, whether suggestions are added in insert or overwrite mode, and the case of the inserted words.
