Disable autocomplete on sublime 403x

#1

Hello,
I do not like to use the poping windows of the autocomplete. How could I disable them?

The docs/answers which I found on internet do not work - adding in preferences:

        "auto_complete": false,
	"tab_completion": false,

What are the correct way to disable the autocomplete?

those worked for me.
I agree they are annoying 90% of the time. The 2nd one though, Tab completion is perfect imho, I left it true.
So, it only appears the first time you hit Tab.

There is also this option

"mini_auto_complete": true,

That is alternative way of having the tab completion without popup. Still not as it used to work in ST3, but it’s somewhat better because you get just the first suggestion.

That’s strange…now all those preferences work.
I have only shutdown and restart sublime.

Thank you for the great suggestions!

perhaps switching the auto complete delay to half a second or more could be you useful
that would ensure that the popup only pops up when u pause for half a sec to think about what to type (rather than just popping up repeatedly unnecessarily as you are typing in a flow)
