RDz to Add "Auto Activation" to "Content Assist" preference

in RDz, Java editor can have "Auto Activition" setting for content assist. We want this feature to be available in LPEX or COBOL Editor as well.

    I believe the parallel java feature they are thinking of is the auto activation of content assist when the user types the '.' character. An analogous feature in the PL/I editor would be if the user types "MYLEVEL1.", and after the period is typed, content assist appears and lists all of the variables that are valid children of the MYLEVEL1 variable.

    I know CNTRL+SPACES is the content assist for Cobol editor, however I mean the "auto activation". i.e. we no need to press any key to trigger content assist, when we place the cursor in the cobol program editor, content assist will appear automatically.

    This function is provided today with CNTRL + SPACE as the consistent behavior. Thanks.
