Drop down list when typing text between single or double quotes

#1

Hi

I’ve recently upgraded to Sublime Text 4 and there are few things that I don’t completely master.

When I work with PHP or JavaScript files, when I open single or double quotes and start typing, I have an annoying drop down list that suggests me pretty much anything.
When I set “auto_complete” to “false”, it doesn’t display anymore but I obviously not don’t what to completely turn off the auto completion. So I know that it has something to do with auto completion but I couldn’t find how to disable it.

Does anyone have an idea on that?

Context to automatically display completions while typing is controlled by "auto_complete_selector" setting, which by default excludes multi-line strings, only.

To disable auto-completions within all sorts of strings, adjust it to something like…

"auto_complete_selector": "meta.tag, source - comment - string",

Modern syntaxes clear string scope within interpolation, so auto-completion would still work then.
