VS Code is inserting a suggestion when typing, and I don't want it to insert the suggestion unless I hit either 'Tab' or 'Enter'.

I want to be able to write cy.get('.my-selector').click() but instead VS Code auto completes to crypto.get

I'm writing a Cypress test, so I type cy - Then the suggestion box pops up, and the first option is crypto (not what I want). I type a period '.' so I can call a function on this cy object, but VS Code instead accepts the first suggestion, which is crypto. Now I have to delete this and try again.

I have looked through the VS Code settings for suggestions. I have looked at the keybindings for acceptSelectedSuggestion and suggest. I have disabled ALL extensions.

This is a related SO question, but I actually want the opposite.

This is a javascript file. On Mac.

are you talking about disabling intellisense ? – Manjuboyz Feb 25 '20 at 13:47
Hit the ESC key. – Treasure Dev Feb 25 '20 at 13:48

I like IntelliSense, but in this case it is very unhelpful. – Anthony Elliott Feb 25 '20 at 13:51

Thanks for `ESC` option. That adds a keystroke though. I'd love to only accept an IntelliSense suggestion when I hit `Enter` or `TAB` – Anthony Elliott Feb 25 '20 at 13:52

Does this answer your question? [Change trigger keys on vscode autocomplete](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60366204/change-trigger-keys-on-vscode-autocomplete) – ultraGentle Feb 25 '20 at 16:43
Yes, thanks @Tedskovsky!!!! – Anthony Elliott Feb 25 '20 at 20:12
I even looked several times at that setting but didn't realize that it was important since the description just mentioned semicolon! – Anthony Elliott Feb 25 '20 at 20:13
