Disable LTex populating the autocomplete / intellisense list

[noelfarrugia]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Whenever I am typing a LaTeX document, the LTeX extension suggests words from the dictionary. This is extremely annoying to have the completion window pop-up when typing. I tried looking for an option to disable this, but had no luck.

Describe the solution you'd like
Have a way of disabling the LTeX extension from populating the suggestions list.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Tried to increase the delay using the editor.quickSuggestionsDelay setting, but that made the snippets take longer to show up as well, which is far from ideal.

Additional context
Figure of the annoying suggestions that I cannot turn off

You need to set "editor.quickSuggestions": false, or "editor.quickSuggestions": {"other": false, [...]}. Then, you can use Ctrl+Space to trigger the suggestions.

I didn't realize that VS Code has this on by default, because on all my machines, it's disabled. I'm not sure if there's a way of disabling this just for LT_EX.

The problem with disabling quickSuggestions is that to trigger snippets you would need to press Ctrl+Space which is a bit annoying. I think disabling LTeX suggestions would be the better overall solution.

Curiously, it doesn't happen in Markdown, only L^AT_EX and other languages.

I don't see a way to handle this properly. A proper solution would be telling VS Code somehow not to show suggestions from LT_EX while typing, but to show them when pressing Ctrl+Space. There's also no way for the language server to find out why the completion request was triggered. Both completions while typing (the LSP calls it “24x7 code complete”) and Ctrl+Space have the same CompletionTriggerKind value of Invoked.

As LT_EX should not have this irritating behavior with VS Code's default settings, the only option is to disable LT_EX completion by default. There is now a setting ltex.completionEnabled to enable them again.

That's excellent! Thank you so much! Do you know when v13.0.0 will be released?

[valentjn]

I can't announce any date as they greatly depend on my availability and my spare time. But you can try it out in the nightly pre-release, see the docs for more info.

Fix released in 13.0.0.
