In the latest version (PyDev 3.3.3) it doesn't do that anymore (previously it used the same settings for the editor in the console).
So, please upgrade :)
Question
How can I configure PyDev auto-completion behavior for the interactive console?
In my installation, the completion is activated after each character I type. This is VERY irritating, I must press ESC every time.
I can configure it for the editors, but not for the console.
