Turn off autocomplete in PhpStorm

Question

Right now if I type in $ into Jetbrains PhpStorm IDE, it will display a whole bunch of suggestions (e.g. variables that have already been declared) which slows down my typing.

Is there a way to configure PhpStorm to NOT do this? In other words, turn off auto-complete or only do auto-complete if I press Ctrl+Space and not when I just type in $?

Answer 1

This is more an answer to the linked "duplicate" question, but I can't answer that one. Hope this helps someone.

To disable HTML auto-completion, see Settings -> Editor -> General -> Smart Keys.

There is a section called XML/HTML where you can toggle auto-completion of HTML tags and attributes.

In my case I was looking to disable Auto close tags when typing '</' option.

Answer 2

Disable code completion?

See Settings/Preferences(depends on OS) - IDE Settings - Editor - Code Completion

There you should find an option Autopopup code completion in (ms)

If the check box is not selected, PhpStorm will not suggest code completion automatically.
