Version 0.10.4 disables editor.quickSuggestions by default

[san-chang]

I'm using two extension for my C/C++ project

• "C/C++" provide by microsoft (this one)
• "C/C++ clang command Adapter" provide by Yasuaki MITANI(the other one)

this one for debug, go-to-define...
and the other one for auto-complete and diagnostic

Since the Auto-Completion feature provide by this extension is not good enough, I must use the other one, and It's work well with setting "C_Cpp.autocomplete:DIsabled" in my config file before update (this extension) to version 0.10.4

When I update, I can still use trigger character(such as '.' '->') to get suggestion list, but the suggestion list will not appear when I type other character(Auto-Complete without trigger), and It's work well with version 0.10.3 and early version(this extension).

I have try to disable this extension, and the other one work well.

So my question is, "Can you fix this problem?" or "How can I re-install the version 0.10.3 of this extension"

can you try adding "editor.quickSuggestions": true to your settings.json (File -> Preferences -> Settings)and see if that resolves your issue?

In 0.10.4 we disabled the "aggressive" suggestion setting which VS Code sets by default, but you can change it back.

Also, even when this setting is set to false (which the extension does by default now), you can force the suggestion list to appear at any time with the CTL+Space shortcut.

Thank you so much for your reply.
I have try your suggestion:

add "editor.quickSugestions":true to my settings.json (both user setting and workspace settings)

But it's not work for me. issue still there.

And I am not a native speaker of English, In window 10 Ctrl+space is default to switch input methods.
So if I press Ctrl+space, there is not suggestion list but just switch my input methods:sweat_smile:

I just try to change the config in C:/users/{user_name}/.vscode/extensions/ms-vscode.cpptools-0.10.4/package.json [932] and [935] from

configurationDefaults": {
      "[cpp]": {
        "editor.quickSuggestions": false
      },
      "[c]": {
        "editor.quickSuggestions": false
      }
    } 

to

configurationDefaults": {
      "[cpp]": {
        "editor.quickSuggestions": true
      },
      "[c]": {
        "editor.quickSuggestions": true
      }
    } 

and restart VSCode.
It's worked.

seems like vscode's config is covered by externsion's configuration .

Changing your user setting to [cpp]: { "editor.quickSuggestions": true } should fix the issue -- we may be able to automatically set this if our autocomplete setting is false. You shouldn't need to change the extension's package.json. We added that default setting because our auto-complete doesn't currently give particularly good results with the setting on (i.e. keywords auto-complete without the keyword being in the list of suggestions). As soon as we add keywords/snippets to our extension I think we can remove this default setting. Ctrl+Space should be usable and should not map to "switch input method", which should be Win+Space, unless your OS is configured differently. You can also use the Command Prompt >Trigger Suggest.

@sean-mcmanus Thank you for your reply, I'll try this tomorrow.

Using this might work, but I haven't tried it: https://superuser.com/questions/327479/ctrl-space-always-toggles-chinese-ime-windows-7 .

We're investigating a way to make this dynamic based on whether you have set "C_Cpp.autocomplete": Disabled or not.
