Description

Atm the code completion for new languages added with textmate and the LSP for that, will not comes up after typing. It will comes up, when you type ctrl + space as usual. In the standard NetBeans languages (PHP, Java, etc.) there is the option to show code completion while typing w/o hitting ctrl + space. I know that some people don't want that and some people want that so we need an option for that.

I would suggest to add this option to each language that we can add in the add new language dialog at the Language Server pptions page. Maybe a global option to make this available for each language will be good too to override the specific ones.
