I shortcut the "cursor tab" and enable or disable it as needed. If only Ai was smart enough to learn when I do and don't want it (like clippy in the ms days) - when you are manually toggling it on/off clear patterns emerge (to me at least) as to when I do and don't want it.


How do you do that? Sorry if it's obvious - I've looked for this functionality before and didn't spot it


Bottom right says "cursor tab" you can manually manipulate it there (and snooze for X minutes - interesting feature). For binding shortcuts - Command/Ctrl + Shift + P, then look for "Enable|Disable|Whatever Cursor Tab" and set shortcuts there.

Old fashioned variable name / function name auto complete is not affected.

I considered a small macropad to enable / disable with a status light - but honestly don't do enough work to justify avoiding work by finding / building / configuring / rebuilding such a solution. If the future is this sort of extreme autocomplete in everything I do on a computer, I would probably go to the effort.


Thanks!

The thing that bugs me is when Im trying to use tab to indent with spaces, but I get a suggestion instead.

I tried to disable caps lock, then remap tab to caps lock, but no joy
