Stop default Autocomplete behavior when hitting spacebar in Visual Studio 2015

Question

NOTE The keyword here is "default". I know I can hit escape and the default behavior gets aborted. I don't want to hit the escape key every time the IDE thinks it knows what I want. I didn't have to do this in 2013.

ADDENDUM 2 It seems I'm still having difficulty communicating what I'm after here. What I want to happen is nothing when I press the space bar... I just want a space character to show up on my screen. The only time I want the IDE to actually insert a suggestion is when I hit the tab bar. I hope that's clearer?

This is driving me nuts. 2013 and before allowed you to set completion characters (maybe that was resharper?) But in 2015 I see no way to stop the default behavior of autocomplete.

For example, say I have a class Foo, but I don't have the namespace specified already, yet I have a class FooBar in one of the specified namespaces, if I type:

public void DoSomething(Foo// <-- then a space)

...it automatically puts FooBar. How the heck do I turn off this behavior?

I should mention that I still want Autocomplete, just on tab though.

Answer 1

Edit -> Intellisense -> Toggle Completion Mode

From : https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hcw1s69b.aspx

"You can also change to suggestion mode, in which only the text you type is inserted into the code. For example, if you enter an identifier that is not in the list and press TAB, in completion mode the entry would replace the typed identifier. To toggle between completion mode and suggestion mode, press CTRL+ALT+SPACEBAR or click Edit/IntelliSense/Toggle Completion Mode."

For all who have the same problem in Visual Studio Code, add this line to the User Settings:

"editor.acceptSuggestionOnCommitCharacter": false

Answer 3

change the setting for Editor: Accept Suggestion On Enter to off
