Prevent autocomplete in Visual Studio Code

In the most recent version of Visual Studio Code I've found out that the

"editor.acceptSuggestionOnCommitCharacter": false

configuration disables this behavior.


By 2016, Visual Studio Code is pretty cool and ready for prime time. But I still haven't found a way to simply turn off autocompletion completely.

But they do have some things in their documentation: Customizing IntelliSense

Basically, I put this in my settings.json to try and turn it off for the workspace. But I still have to evaluate this.

// Place your settings in this file to overwrite default and user settings.
{
    // Controls if quick suggestions should show up while typing
    "editor.quickSuggestions": { "other": false, "comments": false, "strings": false },

    // Controls if suggestions should be accepted with "Enter" - in addition to "Tab". Helps to avoid ambiguity between inserting new lines and accepting suggestions.
    "editor.acceptSuggestionOnEnter": "off",

    // Controls the delay in ms after which quick suggestions will show up.
    "editor.quickSuggestionsDelay": 10,

    // Enable word based suggestions
    "editor.wordBasedSuggestions": false
}
