Sometimes, when I am writing code, I try to use tab to add some space after an identifier, only to have an autocompletion box show up.
If I disable VA, this does not happen.
Since I do desire that tab autocompletes my identifiers, what I would like is for it to only work when there is a suggestion listbox already present. This one brings up the listbox!

Try to disable the "Tab" check box in VA setup located at:
"Text Editor->Completion->Display suggestion listboxes ... and accept with:"
This should solve your problem. |

| We believe Joe needs to disable "Open completion listboxes when tab is pressed" on the Completion node of our options dialog. This option exists primarily for people who prefer no suggestion listboxes, and are accustomed to the behavior of Tab in our older products. |

Yep. The description of that option even states that is what it does.
Imagine that... Documentation that is correct!

ah, not quite. when i am adding variables to my code, eg:
int count;
where there is a tab character between "int" and "count", sometimes VAX pops up a suggestion box when i press the tab character.
so, prompted by this thread i turned this option off. this has a side effect, which is i can no longer accept suggestions with tab 
this effects both completion and suggestion boxes, so i have turned this option back on again. i am to used to pressing tab to accept a suggestion to want to change.
edit - this is happening even though i have accept entries with tab turned on. it seems that turning off prompt on tab overrides this. |

D'oh! We busted behavior on Tab. You need to both of the "tab" options enabled to accept suggestions with Tab. Should be just the first.

| Accepting suggestion with Tab no longer requires "Open completion listboxes with Tab..." in build 1240. |
