I am new to Eclipse and I want to know if it's possible to have the completion window open up automatically while I type (Visual Studio style) and not by clicking Ctrl + Space?

It is possible. You can simply write:
.abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
inAuto activation triggers for Java
field, underPreferences
>Java
>Editor
>Content Assist
.While writing Java code, after the dot
.
the window opens automatically after a configurable amount of time (default is 200 ms.)In general, what you can do is add an auto activation trigger, for example
_
, so when you want the windows to popup, you type and delete that character (althought I don't think that's better thanCTRL
+SPACE
).
