The auto-complete/intellisense feature in MySQL Workbench is driving me up the wall, is there any way to disable it? I've had a dig through the settings & documentation but don't seem to be able to find any option for turning it off.
I'm working with the Linux build, v6.2.3.
Many thanks,

Yes, it is called "Code Completion" in Workbench. Change it under Preferences -> SQL Editor -> Query Editor. Here you can leave it enabled but disable "Automatically Start Code Completion", and then manually trigger it when needed. Or, disable it entirely. You can manually trigger it from the main menu under Edit -> Auto-complete, or use the shortcut key. That menu item shows the shortcut key for your platform.

In vscode, there is an option to chose which language I'm going to use when I make a new file. I accidentally clicked do not show for this setting/UI but I want it back. I tried googling it but I can't find any solutions. Is this is even changeable?
If you are talking about this feature, it can be re-enabled by changing the value of Workbench > Editor > Untitled: Hint (workbench.editor.untitled.hint) in the settings.
But without that feature you can still change language mode by clicking the button at the bottom right of the window.
A few weeks ago, refactoring code using F2 worked without any confirmation. Since a few days, however, using F2 opens up a "Refactor preview" tab in the bottom panel.
The refactoring will not be done until I manually check what I want to refactor, and click the checkmark at the top right.
I cannot find anything online or in the vscode settings. Can this be disabled so that the refactoring automatically proceeds like it used to?
Are you accidentally pressing Shift + Enter after renaming?
This behavior should only happen after you press F2, change the name of the item, and then press Shift + Enter. Pressing only enter should automatically perform the rename without the refactor preview tab opening. The rename box states this:
In case its not clear, here is a video that illustrates this.
Note: This solution is only for c/c++ case. The reason is that C/C++ extension is doing bad in analyzing the code and relies on user to determine which ones to rename, then the preview panel is poped up for this.
Try disable Editor > Rename: Enable Preview in settings, and then restart vscode.
If the problem still exists, try replace C/C++ extension's intellisense with clangd:
Install clangd extension in vscode;
Disable C/C++ extension's intellisense by adding this to settings.json:
"C_Cpp.intelliSenseEngine": "Disabled"
Then vscode will adopt clangd's intellisense, which renames without a preview.
Uninstalling C/C++ extension is NOT recommended because intergrated gdb will be lost, but you can try lldb as a substitude:
Install CodeLLDB extension in vscode;
Configure cmake's default debug type to lldb in settings.json:
"cmake.debugConfig": {
"type": "lldb"
}
I'm working in STS 3.1.0, and I use the Search->Text->Project menu item a lot (and workspace, file as well). I've looked through the Command Availability options, menu options and such. I don't see a way to add this command to either the toolbar or better, a keyboard shortcut.
Here's what I'm talking about:
Am I missing something or is it not possible?
If you are using STS 3.3 or later version - you can just do (CTRL+SHIFT+L or CMD+SHIFT+L on Mac) opens the below dialog from any context and get instant search results.
Go to preferences (cmd+, on mac as far I remember) then General>Keys and search for the action you need to add the keybinding.
Here is a snapshot of the keys that might interest you
How do you disable content assist in Eclipse?
I do not mind allowing it to come up when I press ctrl & space, but I do not like how it automatically comes up as I am typing. It just messes me up. For instance it, I would end up scrolling through the options when I just want to go up a line. It is getting tedious having to press escape whenever it decides to pop up.
I have found the page in the preferences for it, but I cannot seem to find out how to disable the auto-pop-up.
EDIT: I am using the application for android development. I have already disabled "auto-activation" for both Java and XML, but it does not seem to have an effect. The window will still pop up automatically.
EDIT2: I tried restarting the program after making the changes, but it still had no effect. I made sure that the option changes were still in effect, and they were still in effect.
This Eclipse3.6 Help page on Content assist can help (it is for C++, but the same idea applies for Java on the Java > Editor > Content Assist preference page.):
The idea is to disable what triggers the content assist.
Go to Window → Preferences.
In the filter text search bar, type "typing".
Go to Editor → Typing.
Uncheck all that you don't want.
Don't know if you did get it to disable but I was having the same trouble as you.
I did the following:
Window > Prefrences > Content Assist
Uncheck all and hit apply
Java > Editor > Content assist > Advanced
Uncheck all and hit apply.
Hope this works if you still haven't found an answer.
It's not readily obvious and there doesn't appear to be a global option to turn it off all over the place. This may sound obvious, but it's important to make sure to turn off Auto-Activation on all of the different structured editor types that you do not want it active on.
In Eclipse Mars.1 :-
go to Window then->preferences -> Java -> Editor -> Content Assist ->Advanced -> Restore Default ->Apply and then OK.
Go to Window -> Preferences -> PHP -> Editor -> Content Assist -> Auto Activation
Untick the box "Enable auto activation"
I am using Eclipse to program Android apps and I love how the little helper box thing comes up when you start to type and suggests things to you.
However, this only happens sporadically and I was wondering if there was a way to keep it visible for longer or, even better, a key combo I could press to bring it up. If I start to type something, it either helps me by suggesting things or doesn't appear.
Try Ctrl+Space. The feature is known as "content assist," "code completion," "auto-complete." In the Visual Studio world, I think it's called "Intellisense."
If you want the suggestions to appear immediately (I prefer this) you can change the delay by going to Window → Preferences → Java → Editor → Content Assist and change the Auto activation delay to 0. In my version of Eclipse (Helios for Java EE), that field is third from the bottom.
An easier way of finding this preference screen is to use the search box in the upper-left-hand corner of the prefs (as before, Window → Preferences), and typing completion. From there you can see all of the different content assist preferences that Eclipse offers. Mine has Java, JavaScript, CSS, HTML, JSP, and XML - most of those because I'm using a fancier version of Eclipse.
By default, when writing Java code, the . (period) key triggers auto-activation of content assist. You can change this setting in the same screen as the auto-activation delay.
I think its Control+Space for Code completion. Try that
Also go easy with the code completion popup delay. Dont set it to 0, i remember a strange behaviour in Eclipse where there was no popup at all.
Ctrl+Space is the shortcut for Content Assist.
Ctrl+1 is the shortcut for Quick Fix.
Ctrl+2 is the shortcut for a menu of Quick Assists. (Ctrl+2, F is the shortcut for Quick Assist - Assign to var/field, and in place of F you can also type L or R for other options.)
To see and/or modify available shortcuts you can go to Window > Preferences > General > Keys.
