While Code Completion saves me time and helps me avoid errors due to
unbound variable names, I am getting frustrated by it because it is too
aggressive at completing my code. In particular, when I am typing
single digits it suggests longer numbers that happen to match in my
document. Or it will match a word that has a different capitalization
or pluralization, or will match a longer word; then I wind up with
capitals or plurals or the longer word when I don't want them.
Steps to reproduce:
1. File > New empty file
2. Type
25 21 2 1
25, 21, 2, 1
Type a bit on the slow side, as I do.
Actual results:
25 21 25 1
25, 21, 21, 1
Expected results:
25 21 2 1
25, 21, 2, 1
I would only have expected the actual result if I had typed a tab or
return after typing the second "2". How do I get code completion not to
complete upon pressing the space bar or a punctuation symbol. Having to
press Esc to banish the autocomplete list really throws off my typing
rhythm.
The only workaround I have found is to set the Code Completion delay to
2 seconds, which kind of takes away some of the advantage of using Code
Completion. I don't want
Any suggestions?
