Trigger delay issue

Setting this value to an integer doesn’t seem to have the effect I was looking for. I use 4 tabs for spaces when writing Python. If I am on a new line and start tabbing to the left, autocomplete always gets in the way causing me to

  1. turn the feature off
  2. hit escape to reject the suggestion
  3. delete the unwanted suggestion accidentally accepted by tabbing (most common)

I’ve tried various values on trigger delay but no luck. Maybe I’m doing it wrong?

Hey @jhargis

The “Trigger Delay” for autocomplete is a number in milliseconds.
The trigger delay ensures a minimum time before showing autocomplete results.

Benefits include:

    1. Throttling requests to optimize resource usage
    1. Allowing user input to stabilize for more relevant suggestions
    1. Creating a consistent, natural-feeling autocomplete experience.

Setting to 3000 means the trigger delay waits 3 seconds until autocomplete happens.

I hope that helps.
