How do I disable auto-completion pop-up [message #1864532] Thu, 21 March 2024 17:17 Go to next message

I'm trying to disable automatic code-completition pop-up. I want it to appear only when I press CTRL-Space.

I've tried to disable all options in PHP->Editor->Content Assist but it still shows up.

Searching preferences I could only find relevant option in this place. Other Content Assist pages are for CSS, HTML or XML.

How do I disable it ?

I'm using PDT to develop in Angular/Typescript/Javascript.

This is relevant because it interferes with AI code suggestions like Codeium.

Please inform if this issue should be addressed to Wild Web Developer project

Here's what you can try:

PDT Settings Might Be Limited:

Unfortunately, PDT doesn't seem to have separate settings for Javascript/Typescript like other languages. The options you found for PHP might not apply.

Try These Workarounds:

Search for "Autopopup": While less likely, search PDT settings for keywords like "Autopopup code completion" or similar. It might be a global option.
Keyboard Shortcuts:
Disable all suggestions: Try Ctrl+Shift+Space (might temporarily disable AI suggestions too).
Trigger suggestions manually: Use Ctrl+Space when you want completions.
Wild Web Developer Might Not Be the Answer:

Since PDT's settings seem limited, contacting the Wild Web Developer project might not be the best course of action.

Alternatives:

Consider PDT Support: If the workarounds don't work, contact PDT support to see if there's a hidden setting or a known issue.
Explore Other IDEs: If disabling automatic suggestions is crucial, investigate other IDEs that offer more granular control over code completion behavior.
Hopefully, these suggestions help you manage code completion in PDT!
