I have been trying to turn off autocomplete everyday but it persists and stunts my workflow. it literally tries to autocomplete comments when I hit enter. or just ruins my code when I hit enter to go to the next line. I disabled the autocomplete on enter feature but still it persists!! I have found no solutions on the internet for this. please help I'm about to just uninstall vscode permanently. and no I don't have any extensions installed its just plain vscode.

VS Code has a neat feature where if you search for something in the terminal grep/ack or similar tools, the resultant file links are clickable (with ctrl+click). I love that feature! Recently however I reinstalled VS Code with fresh settings, and a strange new default behavior has started that was definitely not present in my old install. Whenever I click links like that, in addition to opening the link, the name of the file is also copied into my clipboard, overwriting what I searched for.
My old work flow was copy search term, go to console, grep <paste>, click link, ctrl+f, . That doesn't work anymore, and I would prefer to restore the old mechanism, but due to the somewhat peculiar circumstances I'm not sure what I would search for to configure this behavior.
Any ideas ?
I just want to activate autocompletion in VS code. There's a lot of answers to that questions but NONE of it actually helped me. (so please don't mark as duplicate when other answers DON'T help) Apparently, you have to press "Ctrl+Alt+Spacebar" but this doesn't work or me. I don't see any option in the nav menu to toggle a completion mode either. Or maybe you need to create a file in your folder? I don't know! non of this worked and I don't even know how it did work when I've seen intellisense! So please help me find a way to do this, and it'll better if this would be permanent. Thanks.
First you must have an internet connection.
Then you should find extensions sidebar in vs code(you can open it by press 'Ctrl+Shift+X' or open it in top of the screen, View->Extensions).
After that you should search for C# extension that made by Microsoft(search C# in search textbox and click on first result)
Picture of searching C# extension
Then install that extension by clicking on install button
Wait a few minutes to install (e.g it took 15 minutes for me)
Now you have C# extension.
After that you should close the VsCode and open again.
Now you have auto completion (if not, you probably should press 'Ctrl+Space' while coding)
If you want to have smart auto completion, VsCode doesn't have IntelliCode for C#. IntelliCode is just for Visual Studio.
But you can use Tabnine or Copilot extension(you can search and install it like installing C# extension but you should search tabnine instead of C#)
Tabnine is good but it couldn't help me like Intellicode in Visual Studio.
I have more than sufficient resources free:
but Visual Studio Code is taking several seconds to show an auto-completion list, even when I have typed 80% of what is to be completed.
How can I make Visual Studio Code's auto-complete suggestions appear more quickly?
It is possible that you have some VS code's extension enabled that is slowing down your system.
To check if that's the case open Command Palette (Ctrl+shift+p) and type "Disable all installed extensions".
Check if the experience is faster and more responsive now. If that's the case now you need to find the extension that is slowing you, for doing so follow these steps:
open Command Palette (Ctrl+shift+p) and type "Show Installed Extensions", now from the list you will have to spend some time activating and deactivating extensions until you find the one causing the troubles.
NOTE: You can show suggestions at any time pressing Ctrl+space and Ctrl+shift+space, so you can try forcing it when it's not showing.
An out of blue suggestion, but you can try light weight editors like Sublime text 3. The response time in auto-complete there is one of the best I have ever seen.
I am VERY NEW to learning JavaScript, and I was looking for a simple way to test my basic JavaScript, without using the chrome developer tools inside my Chrome Browser. I thought it might be faster than hoping back and fourth to a browser and typing things in the browser's console.
I thought the extension "Debugger for Chrome" would aid in this, but I don't think it's what I want, or I can't figure out how to use it(very new to this)?
I am trying to uninstall it, and I just get a perpetual 'Uninstalling' icon, but it never actually uninstalls(pic attached below). It's been like that for a half hour in the background. I've tried restarting vscode and my PC, and I can't seem to get it out of my editor.

I even tried to delete vsCode completely, including the registry items I could get at, after reinstall I had the same error. Restarts of PC also didn't help. But for some reason, this morning after starting up my PC, I was able to remove the extension.
So my issue is resolved, not onto figuring out easier ways to debug with vsCode.
I'm sorry if this question has been ask before or can be found on the net. I have no idea how do I call this popup. I have no idea of the keyword to google. I tried "popup", "dialog", "confirmation" and a lot else but didn't success.
Back to the question, I've just migrate to my development machine and did fresh install for Eclipse. After that, I copy all the setting in workspace/.metadata folder from my previous machine to the new one. Everything looks fine (theme, key bindings and else) except that I have this popup appearing whenever I press some shortcut. For example, Ctrl+Space to bring up the code assist, the following dialog appears.
This popup never appeared before in my previous machine. It is annoying since I have to hit enter once every time I press those shortcut. Do you have any idea how can I turn this off?
Best
Note
I don't think this popup is code assist specific issue, I brought code assist up as an example. I also got this popup when I press shortcut to
Open Resource
Run
Refactor/Rename
Add getter/setter
and 10s other shortcut too. Also, I don't have conflict shortcut. Not that I know.
This question may have been answered here already: Disable content assist in Eclipse
Refer to the following link for the documentation on Content Assist: http://help.eclipse.org/helios/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.cdt.doc.user/reference/cdt_u_c_editor_con_assist.htm
The point is to disable the actions that trigger the Content Assist.
