How to disable "No Default Proposals" in eclipse content assist for PHP?

Yes, it's annoying. I'd like to meet the person who made the decision that popping up a blank box and requiring esc to be hit for everything was such a good idea.

Click Window/Preferences Expand your language (ie: php, Java, etc) Expand Editor, click Content Assist Toward the bottom right, un-tick Enable auto activation.

Using the directions provided by @DirkDi99ler to find the checkbox, rather than untick it and disable the feature, I simply changed the timeout from the default 200 ms to 5000ms. This means by the time the pop would kick in, I've moved along so it doesn't appear. If i need to see it i just wait a few seconds. 5 in my case.

Hope that helps. :)

I've been struggling with this myself. My solution has been a workaround of sorts. I disable auto activation in Content Assist. The two editors that have it in my case are PHP and js. Then if I need a reference I use Ctrl+Space.
