when I hover over the codes in ECLispe Editor it pops up this yellow hint box for everything that I am on it to show some useful info about it. well it is cool but it is also annoying! is there a way that I can deactivate it as Default setting and then anytime I needed it I hit a hot-key to bring it up...
If you go:
Window->Preferences
In the tree look for "Hovers" under Java->Editor->Hovers
You can uncheck all the ones you do not want, or add keyboard shortcuts to activate a Hover. Not particularly useful, but may help.

Is it possible to have IntelliJ/Cursive display a pop-up with s-form's definition and documentation when that s-form is hovered over with a mouse, like it's done in Eclipse? Ctrl+Q seems to bring up the window, but I'd like for it to open up automatically without me hitting a shortcut. Is this a configurable setting or something? Also, what is a similar key combination to bring up a source pop-up?
Thank you in advance.
No, there's no way to do this automatically on hover. You can see the source pop-up using View->Quick Definition - the keybinding will depend on the keymap and platform you're using. The keybinding should be shown in the menu, otherwise you can search for "Quick Definition" in Settings->Keymap.
Well the title may be little confusing, but I believe everyone is familiar with the feature that Eclipse usually lets you autocorrect the possible mistakes just by clicking a light bulb
icon present at the left margin of the code editor. When we press that light bulb, we get some autocorrect options in a context menu. Is there any available shortcut for that?
I think you mean Ctrl+1 (Press the Control-Key then without releasing it, press the One-Key)
That should pop up that menu, if the cursor is on the error (in your case between the C and the l from CustomerImpl).
Whenever the Eclipse quick fix dialogue pops up, all options are visible, but as soon as the mouse is moved to the dialogue the bottom option is hidden by a button saying "Configure Annotation Preferences". To see the bottom option again I will need to scroll down in the dialogue. This happens even if there is only one option in the pop up.
I find this very annoying, since I'm more likely to select a quick fix option than to change some preferences. (Am I the only one?:))
How can I get rid of the button, or at least get the dialogue to resize itself so no options are hidden?
I'm runnig Juno on Ubuntu_64, v12.04.
Change the preference Window -> Preferences -> General -> Editor -> Text Editors -> When mouse moved into hover to "Enrich on click" to work around the issue. Works fine for me on the same Ubuntu setup.
Be warned that this only works for hovers which don't need to be scrolled. If scrolling is necessary to see the content at the bottom, then either clicking into the popup or scrolling with the mouse wheel will still bring up that configuration button. To make this less of a problem, you may want to configure your Java, Lint or other plugins contributing quick fixes to ignore certain types of problems (which you never fix).
In Flash Builder, for objects, properties, variables and such where your cursor is on it, the editor highlights all instances of that name in the code with a grey box. This can be very distracting and I was wondering if there was a way to turn it off or if there is a hot key to disable it.
Another things that is very distracting are the mouse hover popups, although apparently there's no way to disable those :
Flash Builder + Eclipse: disable mouse hover popup?
I have been annoyed by this as well, and finally found something that helps. You need to turn off "Mark Occurrences" by clicking the button in the IDE that looks like a highlighter.
Here is a link to where I found that answer:

I am using Eclipse to program Android apps and I love how the little helper box thing comes up when you start to type and suggests things to you.
However, this only happens sporadically and I was wondering if there was a way to keep it visible for longer or, even better, a key combo I could press to bring it up. If I start to type something, it either helps me by suggesting things or doesn't appear.
Try Ctrl+Space. The feature is known as "content assist," "code completion," "auto-complete." In the Visual Studio world, I think it's called "Intellisense."
If you want the suggestions to appear immediately (I prefer this) you can change the delay by going to Window → Preferences → Java → Editor → Content Assist and change the Auto activation delay to 0. In my version of Eclipse (Helios for Java EE), that field is third from the bottom.
An easier way of finding this preference screen is to use the search box in the upper-left-hand corner of the prefs (as before, Window → Preferences), and typing completion. From there you can see all of the different content assist preferences that Eclipse offers. Mine has Java, JavaScript, CSS, HTML, JSP, and XML - most of those because I'm using a fancier version of Eclipse.
By default, when writing Java code, the . (period) key triggers auto-activation of content assist. You can change this setting in the same screen as the auto-activation delay.
I think its Control+Space for Code completion. Try that
Also go easy with the code completion popup delay. Dont set it to 0, i remember a strange behaviour in Eclipse where there was no popup at all.
Ctrl+Space is the shortcut for Content Assist.
Ctrl+1 is the shortcut for Quick Fix.
Ctrl+2 is the shortcut for a menu of Quick Assists. (Ctrl+2, F is the shortcut for Quick Assist - Assign to var/field, and in place of F you can also type L or R for other options.)
To see and/or modify available shortcuts you can go to Window > Preferences > General > Keys.
