Autocomplete as an Interface (2015)

They aren’t really customizable that much. I don’t think there is a property in VS or VS Code to haggle with to reduce autocomplete timing to zero, and it still doesn’t deal with it being too intrusive to be used continuously. Each design decision has a cascading consequence, making customization very difficult.

Happily, there are some settings like that. https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/intellisense

``` // Controls the delay in ms after which quick suggestions will show up. "editor.quickSuggestionsDelay": 10, ```

Neat! I've actually never had a problem with the delay in VS Code, and 10ms is basically the way I like it anyways (immediate).

Some people might still be annoyed by the code completion menu placement, which isn't configurable (yet).
