How to disable autocomplete code statements in code editor?

Question

Every time I type if and press the space bar, Delphi completes it with if True then and a new empty line above.

Is there a way to remove this "autocomplete" feature or at least edit it to not create the new line?

Answer 1

From the Tools | Options | Editor Options | Code Insight menu, deselect the Auto complete check box under Code template completion.

Once you disable template auto complete then you need to manually invoke the template if you want it. Do that with CTRL+J.

Answer 2

That's called a live template, and you can edit the list of live templates in the template window, from the View menu.

Find the template you don't like, select it, and click the "remove template code" button.
