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.

Turn off the code completion delay, and use the ESC key to trigger completions?

Thanks. Actually, you apparently can't turn off the delay. If you meant turn off Always Suggest and use ESC to show the suggest list, that's what I wound up doing. Since I'm coding in Scheme (for GIMP Script-Fu), which is not supported by XCode, I mainly need completion for variable names. (Actually, I could also use it for GIMP commands and static values, but those have hyphens in them, as in "gimp-edit-blend" or "CUSTOM-MODE" and Code Complete doesn't seem to go across hyphens.)


Anyway, I may try switching back and forth between the above scheme and a moderate, say 1.25-second, delay and see which method I like better.
