Thanks for your help James. The preference changes that you suggested do prevent the undesired code completion problems that I was describing, but they also restrict the functionality of the code completion feature. For example, I don't get code completion suggestions when typing in long variable outside of method calls and member accesses. What I would like to do is still have the code completion feature -suggesting- completions constantly, but only - inserting- completions when I press the tab key, and not other keys like space or double-quote. Is there no way to configure code completion to behave like that?

- Mark

My Code Sense preferences are as follows:

This is your problem. I'd suggest you set the suggestion delay to something reasonable (like 0.5) and the Automatically Suggest setting to On member call/access. Now Xcode won't automatically start a suggestion until you begin typing a token. With the settings you have, code completion is invoked instantly whenever it possibly can.


The code completion mode it normally toggled by the Esc key. I wouldn't trying changing the binding to the Tab key, unless you just don't like using tabs.
