Geertjan, The only way to disable it is to turn it off for *all* languages, not just HTML.
Auto complete in HTML is very intrusive unlike say for PHP. I find auto complete useful in general but in HTML every time you press enter it pops up and you have to press Escape before typing. Quite often, if you're changing between languages, you forget to press escape and have to delete the "suggestions" Best regards, John Lavelle j...@jql.co.uk Sent via awful Android On Sun, 11 Jul 2021, 22:35 Geertjan Wielenga, < geertjan.wiele...@googlemail.com> wrote: > Trying to look into this, but not sure what the aim is -- why does code > completion need to be disabled for HTML?
