Is it possible to disable the autocomplete when editing code in the IDE? It can be very laggy and often replaces a chunk of what I’ve just typed with a random function name or other text.
Note, this is not about the text box or Google Places API, it’s editing page code.
As i can remember, you should be able to click right-button inside code-section. Then you should be able to see a NEW menu.
Thanks - not sure I understand. I’m typing in the code window, and I pause (my typing isn’t very quick!). When I pause, a tooltip comes up with a list of autocompletes for what I’ve typed. If I haven’t started a word, the list is basically everything, starting with the alphabetically first function name. This often (and I mean sometimes two or three times a minute) replaces some of what I have already entered.
It is both unnecessary (I don’t need suggestions at the moment) and very very annoying as I’m then either deleting what it has added, or having to re-enter the stuff it removed.
Please is there a way of removing this hand-holding as it slows me up and breaks my train of thought?
For instance, I’m starting a for-loop, and I get as far as the code block, and type the open-brace, I get this:
My cursor is between the braces. I hit Enter, and this happens:
What you need to understand is I can’t touch-type, so I have to look at the keyboard. I know what I’m typing, so when I look back up and autocomplete has inserted nonsense, it’s really very aggravating 
Thanks
Ok, my suggestion was wrong. What you can find in the → right-click-context-menu are the → “Velo-Keyboard-Shortcuts” and not the option to deactivate the “Code-Auto-Completion”.
Perhaps you can ask here the right person, who will be able to tell you, how to deactivate the Auto-Completion-Function…
Hi Simon,
There isn’t a way for you to disable it. However, we are always making product improvements, so thanks for your feedback!
@marlowe-shaeffer Thanks for the clarification. It’s unfortunate, because not only is it laggy, it sometimes actually replaces stuff I’ve already typed with its (incorrect choice of) completion text.
@marlowe-shaeffer Just want to bump this. I have the same problem and would love to disable this. It is far more annoying than it is helpful.
Same problem but I do find it helpful.
Still no solution available 
(it should be optional)
For beginners it is a useful tool, but for experts surely not the best choice.
However i do use it, although it is sometimes a little bit slow.
Yes, this is one think that breaks my flow. Please fix as soon as you can. Us coders need our ‘flow’ 
Hi everyone,
Thanks for all the feedback. I’ve shared it with the team.
Hi there …
This question has been asked before, you cannot control the behavior of the IDE at all.
Hi everyone,
Thanks a lot for the feedback. We’re on a mission to improve the Autocomplete mechanism and looking for more valuable feedback such this.
Please feel free to share more of your experience with the Autocomplete in the below thread:
