VS Intellisense: removing some autocomplete words

Question

I like that the intellisense in VS corrects me when I make mistakes, but sometimes I don't make any mistakes and it corrects me still. I'm coding for Unity and I cannot write "var" without it being changed to "SerializePrivateVariables" as soon as I press space.

Is there a way to remove some of the autocomplete triggers in the intellisense? I couldn't find how to do so.

You cannot disable specific words from autocompletion in C# in Visual Studio 2015 as far as I know.

In your case, however, you can enable keywords in completion lists. Then the intellisense should understand that var is a proper C# and not replace it.

You can do this by going to TOOLS > Options > Text Editor > C# > Intellisense and checking the "Place keywords in completion lists" option.

There is a bit more options in VS2017 and VS2013 (and older), but none of them have the exact feature you have in mind.
