Under Completion Settings the current options are:
[x] Display suggestions ... accept with
[x] tab
[x] return
[x] any character not valid in a symbol
This setting works really well for me most of the time except for the space character. In local code and loops I tend to use a one or two character names. As soon as I hit space VA fills in something (obviously since a single character will match almost anything). I think a third option for acceptance would really help a lot. My suggestion is to add space as an acceptance option.
[x] Display suggestions ... accept with
[x] tab
[x] return
[ ] space
[x] any character not valid in a symbol
Allowing a user to turn off space as a completion character would allow for short-cut completion (don't have to press tab) about 60% of the time since most objects are followed by . -> [ ( and other non-space characters. It would eliminate the problem of VA mistakenly filling in single character names.
