I turned off auto-suggest and that made a huge difference. Now I'll use it when I know I'm doing something repetitive that it'll get easily, or if I'm not 100% sure what I want to do and I'm curious what it suggests. This way I get the help without having it interrupt my thoughts with its suggestions.


How do you do that?


In intellij (which is where I use it), section 8 of this document explains how. I'm assuming there's an equivalent for vscode.

When you disable auto complete, it can still be fired via a keyboard shortcut, which is how I use it.

According to StackOverflow, VS Code users can use alt+\ to trigger the suggestion and disable auto complete with this:

    "editor.inlineSuggest.enabled": false
