Smart sense means context scope information should be considered. For example
class A1
{
int a1;
};
class A2
{
int a2;
};
int a3;
A1 obj;
obj.a|
You try to get code completion at the "|" position.
If smart sense is enabled, you will get the result prompt
This is because only the token "a1" is under the scope of obj's type "A1".
If smart sense is disabled, you will get the result prompt
You see that it just do a plain text code completion, thus all the tokens which start with "a" will be listed.
For your request, I think you should go to the Menu->Settings->Editor->General settings
In the first editor settings panel. If you disable the "code completion" option, then both auto launch and shortcut feature is totally disabled. As a workaround, keep the "code completion" option on, but set the "Autolaunch after typing # chars" to a quite big value, such as 8.
@devs:
What's your opinion, it is possible to add an option that "disable the autolaunch, and only allow shortcut" to fire the code completion (suggestion list)?
