I’ve become a big fan of Microsoft’s free open source code editor, Visual Studio Code.
When teaching new students, I find it important to turn off the intellisense autocompletion features. That can be done by adding the following lines to user preferences:
// Turn off autocomplete in Visual Studio Code | |
// http://code.visualstudio.com/ | |
// Add the following lines to user settings | |
// OPTIONAL WORD WRAPPING | |
// Controls if lines should wrap. The lines will wrap at min(editor.wrappingColumn, viewportWidthInColumns). | |
"editor.wordWrap": true, | |
// Controls the indentation of wrapped lines. Can be one of 'none', 'same' or 'indent'. | |
"editor.wrappingIndent": "indent", | |
// TURN OFF AUTOCOMPLETION | |
// Controls if quick suggestions should show up or not while typing | |
"editor.quickSuggestions": false, | |
// Controls the delay in ms after which quick suggestions will show up | |
"editor.quickSuggestionsDelay": 90, | |
// Enables parameter hints | |
"editor.parameterHints": false, | |
// Controls if the editor should automatically close brackets after opening them | |
"editor.autoClosingBrackets": false, | |
// Controls if the editor should automatically format the line after typing | |
"editor.formatOnType": false, | |
// Controls if suggestions should automatically show up when typing trigger characters | |
"editor.suggestOnTriggerCharacters": false, | |
// Controls if suggestions should be accepted 'Enter' – in addition to 'Tab'. Helps to avoid ambiguity between inserting new lines or accepting suggestions. | |
"editor.acceptSuggestionOnEnter": false |
the autocomplete wastes a few seconds each time. thanks so much.
