Is there a way to stop Visual Studio Code to autocomplete words, or to stop inserting snippets when working on a "PlainText" document?
I love VSC, but I use a lot of plain-text to take notes and so on. I don't want VSC to turn a 'sentence' like "I was" into:
I <i class="fas fa-car-wash "></i>
just because I pressed [Enter] after the word 'was'.
I can kill the autocomplete in total, but I like it in code files. I just don't want it when the type is set to plaintext.
Look at language-specific settings. See https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/settings#_language-specific-editor-settings
"[plaintext]": {
"editor.suggest.showSnippets": false,
"editor.suggest.showWords": false,
"editor.acceptSuggestionOnCommitCharacter": false,
"editor.acceptSuggestionOnEnter": "off"
},
Try setting "editor.wordBasedSuggestions": false.
You can also play around with what VSCode can suggest in Settings:
Ctrl + Shift + P => Preferences: Open Settings (UI) => Text Editor => Suggestions
@cryothic: had the very same problem as you asked for. I was rather successfull with this somewhat simpler addition to settings.json; no more annoying test suggestions since.
"[plaintext]": {
"editor.quickSuggestions": false,
