Notepad ++: disable autocomplete in comments

Question

I am using Notepad ++ to encode C.

The automatic full functionality in NP ++ seems really naive. No matter where I am in the file, it always tries to give me a list of suggestions with autocomplete (most of which are just random words, not function or variable names).

It gets very annoying when I try to write a long multi-line comment, and I still need to hit at the end of the lines because the autocomplete popup wants to change what I'm typing.

Is there a way to turn off auto-completion of internal comments?

As an alternative,

Is there a way to disable keyboard interaction with autocomplete? The time that he saves filling the text for me is negligible compared to the time when I get rid of the need to go and confirm that I correctly execute the spelling function or variable names. Thus, it would be very useful if it always made suggestions, but where the arrow keys entered, they interacted with the text, rather than popping up.

Answer 1

You can go Settings → Preferences → Auto-Completion , and from this point you can set whether you have autocomplete of words, functions, or both.

At this point, I do not believe that there is a way to disable autocomplete in the comments.

The workaround is to disable autocomplete with Ctrl + Enter for your code and Ctrl + Space for your comments.
