Visual Studio Code has a feature of recommending/displaying code options when you type certain things. For example, whenever you type “<” in an html file. I don’t like this feature and would like to disable it. I’ve tried many solutions given online, but none have worked. I think it’s because of updates to the program, since these solutions are old. Pics below showing the feature I want disabled.
I only care about HTML and CSS right now since that’s what I’m currently learning. But if you’re solution disable auto-complete in all languages, that’s fine too.
Please let me know if you have a solution that works (you verified yourself in the most current version of VS Code) Thanks a bunch!
P.S. Also, another minor thing I would like to disable is how whenever you type a quotation mark ", it automatically places the second one like this “”. I don’t like this because it disrupts my typing flow and now I have to move my hand to the right arrow to continue coding. If you know how to disable, I much appreciate it.
hi there!
click on vs code setting,search suggest or auto-complete in the setting search bar, look for “Editor: Quick Suggestions” or “Editor: Suggest On Trigger Characters.”
uncheck the box next to “Editor: Quick Suggestions” to desable automatic suggestions.
Thank you so much! That worked. Can’t believe it was so simple. You don’t know happy this makes me, haha.
By the way, do you happen to know the answer to my second question, about VSC adding a second " whenever I type "? It does the same thing for left squigly bracket { too.
Thanks again for answering, you really made my day!
yes sure, in setting search bar search “Editor: Auto Closing Brackets” for brackets and set it to never. search “Editor: Auto Closing Quotes” for quote marks and set it to never. also if you want to adjust setting for other character, search “Editor: Auto Surround”.
