Komodo Edit disable autocomple

Question

I am using Komodo Edit 8 and its autocomplete feature is totally annoying. As soon as I type "for i" , it autofills in this:

for i in range:
  code

Now i have to delete it manually to continue typing. I tried to turn off "Enable automatic autocomplete and calltips triggering when you type" from Edit>Prefrence>Code Intelligence but the problem persists.

What's the real way to turn it off?

Answer 1

Try this:

Edit > Preferences > Smart Editing > Auto-Abbreviation > Uncheck "Enable Auto-Abbreviation with Trigger Characters"

Answer 2

The option "Enable automatic autocomplete and calltips triggering when you type" refers to the tooltips the pop up for example when calling a function in a module. Type "math.sq" and it'll suggest the rest of the text for the sqrt function.

To turn off the autocomplete you're referring to uncheck "Enable Auto-Abbreviation with Trigger Characters" under Edit > Preferences > Smart Editing > Auto-Abbreviation.
