How to make Visual Studio IntelliSense to not automatically complete a word, do this only by TAB key?












0















Sometimes IntelliSense behavior is very annoying.
For example, typing in c# editor "Random[SPACE]" resulted "Random3DDataGenerator" in my code when the is no "using System;" in the code. I had to press [CTRL]+[Z] to return back the "Random" word.



In earlier versions of VS there was an option which said after which characters auto-completion is applied, but now it seems there is no such option.



Is there some ways to avoid this annoying behavior?

          Just switch off auto completion mode using the settting: Edit->Intellisense->Toggle Completion Mode
