Remove irrelevant autocompletion

#1

Hello,
Since I upgraded to ST4, I have an annoying irrelevant pop up that comes up often at the end of a line. Here is an example of python editing, but similar popup appears when editing other languages.
How can I suppress that?
Otherwise, I am happy with the simple autocompletion, like it use to be in ST3: Variables, functions, etc.
I mainly want to suppress it at the end of a line of code.
In addition, the text added is appended on the same line.
I never hit Undo that often in my editing life!
Thank you in advance for your help.
Best regards
P.

try setting "auto_complete_when_likely": false, in your preferences

+1 to this - it’s not even listed in my normal preferences, and it nuked the ‘autocomplete on empty space’, which is great. It still autocompletes the same quasi-useless list on first character entered, but at least by that time you probably know what var you’re going for.
[edit] - "auto_complete": false is great too - you can pop the list by just hitting Tab

Hi,

Thanks for the try. Unfortunately, the popup I just show still shows after adding “auto_complete_when_likely”: false. I tried both globally and syntax specific.
There are quite a few auto complete parameters… (strings on executable):

auto_complete
auto_complete_commit_on_tab
auto_complete_cycle
auto_complete_delay
auto_complete_detail_pane
auto_complete_details
auto_complete_disabled
auto_complete_enable_plugins
auto_complete_include_snippets
auto_complete_include_snippets_when_typing
auto_complete_info
auto_complete_kind_name_label
auto_complete_open_link
auto_complete_preserve_order
auto_complete_prev
auto_complete_primed
auto_complete_selector
auto_complete_size_limit
auto_complete_trailing_spaces
auto_complete_trailing_symbols
auto_complete_triggers
auto_complete_use_history
auto_complete_use_index
auto_complete_visible
auto_complete_when_likely
auto_complete_window
auto_complete_with_fields
hide_auto_complete
mini_auto_complete
auto_complete_popup
replace_completion_with_auto_complete

I don’t get the end of line listing. Maybe language specific. Did you try trailing_spaces / symbols ? Just a guess.

hi

FWIW… I had the same issue…
was driving me nuts !

noticed that i did not have the issue when running sublime text as root…
why ? cuz the plugins are only installed for the default user

so…
started to remove all older plugins (there were a lot)

appears I had an old sublimecodeintel plugin…
once I had that one removed, everything worked as expected

hope it helps

most likely an Anaconda plugin issue too from what I have saw in other people’s report.

Thank you sooo much for your feedback and patience at tracking this.
Yes, sublimecodeintel removed the annoying auto completion.
Thanks again. You changed my editing live! I can now go back to full speed editing.
Best regards.
