  • Slow and unreliable keyboard input - disable suggestions box?

    Using SES on Linux, while typing in a C file, the characters shows are lagging a bit behind. Often, a character I type is lost, and typing code becomes tedious. Could this have anything to do with the auto-completion/suggestion box that is shown while typing? It seems to appear pretty slowly too. Is there any way to disable this box? (the box that shows a list of identifiers matching what you're currently typing)

    Edit: When editing a H file, there is no such suggestions box, and typing works just fine. So I believe it is indeed the suggestions box that is the problem.

  • Hi,

    You can disable the code completion in the general options (Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> Programmer Assistance -> Display code Completion Suggestions While Typing).

    Best regards

  • Hi Johannes

    We have the same issue on Windows with SES v3.10i and v3.12.

    Yes. Disabling the IntelliSense solves the performance issue, but does not solve the actual problem.

    Thank you for checking...

  • Hi,

    Thanks. Second question - is it possible to invoke the completion suggestion with some keyboard shortcut?

    Yes, as the description of the option says it is Ctrl+J.

    I do not see what the "actual problem" is if it's not the performance issue.
