How to prevent autocomplete of type hints

[GBrachetta]

I would like to deactivate the autocompletion of type hints, such as described in the video below.

How can I get rid of those type hints in the autocomplete?

isn't that copilot?

Could you also let us know what the version of VSCode and Pylance you are using?

Also are you using another extension for inline errors?

[GBrachetta]

I'm using VSCode 1.73.0 and Pylance v2022.11.10.

The behaviour (the autocompletion of the type hints) disappears when I disable Pylance, but of course that's not what I'd want to do.

Autocomplete of just list_display is what I'd want, but not all the type hints I'm deleting in the video.

Could be intellicode. you could try disabling that extension

[GBrachetta]

I'm afraid it's not intellicode. Same behaviour uninstalling it.

Maybe my issue is pretty easy to replicate if you're interested to debug it.

I'm pretty sure the type hints autocompletion comes from Pylance.

Ah.. I see it now.. yes we are including the annotation type from the django stubs.

this could be an enhancement to control annotation printing.

so the behavior is because of this - https://github.com/microsoft/pyright/blob/main/packages/pyright-internal/src/languageService/completionProvider.ts#L985

currently there is no option to control the behavior.

[GBrachetta]

Thanks for spotting the cause. Yes, it would be great to be able to toggle this behaviour on/off because it wastes a lot of time for people not using annotation types.

[heejaechang]

we are discussing a way to mitigate the issue. either providing option to toggle, or use type checking mode, or provide separate completion that has the type annotation when user type : after the member variable or etc.

we are currently leaning to separete completion after : since it gives more flexibility to users. they can easily add type annotation for ones they want or never bothered by it if they don't care.

[GBrachetta]

Thanks, that's great, as soon as it still lets autocomplete the variable alone if we don't type the colon (:).
