If I have code like this:
core_cs::entity_vptr rttQuad
and then I type an equal sign, and then press SPACE:
core_cs::entity_vptr rttQuad =
smart suggestion pops-up. Now a lot of times I press ENTER right after the = because I want to avoid going over the 80 character limit, although this is not the only reason to press ENTER at that point (I have disabled the rest of the suggestion committed keystrokes).
The ENTER selects the smart suggestion. Now I do want ENTER to select suggestions from VA as once I get used to it I can code quite fast. But smart suggestions after a SPACE is unwanted. I would like the suggestion to popup when I start typing letters but not when I type a SPACE. I have yet to come across a useful suggestion from VA after inserting a SPACE.
It would be great if there is an option to dictate the granularity of the smart suggestion i.e. it pops-up when I start typing letters only.
Note that I did not experience this aggressiveness in smart suggestion in earlier builds (I don't exactly remember which ones but they were from a year or two ago). Somehow I cannot get used to pressing ESC when an unwanted suggestion comes up and I end up selecting the suggestion instead of expecting a new line; I then undo, and start a new line (sometimes VA re-suggests the same suggestion after the undo, making for a frustrating few seconds of making sure I press ESC before pressing ENTER).
Smart suggestion is too aggressive
