IntelliSense: Unchecking the setting has no effect

[fade2gray]

Describe the bug

Assuming that IntelliSense is responsible for 'autocomplete' and detailed descriptions of functions etc., toggling the setting on/off seems not to have any effect after reload.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to 'AutoHotkey Plus Plus settings'
2. Uncheck 'Enable IntelliSense (Preview). Changes take effect after reload.'
3. Reload 'F1 - Developer: Reload Window'
4. Test script for autocomplete and/or descriptive tooltips.

Expected behavior

IntelliSense to be disabled.

Additional context

Should Reload and Shutdown/Restart have the same effect (Ref: #39)- neither make any difference after unchecking IntelliSense.

Good catch, I broke this while renaming stuff earlier, I think

@mark-wiemer I'd like to re-raise this, as disabling intellisense in the settings has never worked for me, unless I'm totally misunderstanding just exactly what it's supposed to disable.

A before and after example, perhaps?

Currently using v2.8.1 btw.

[mark-wiemer]

Acknowledging. I do remember IntelliSense makes very little difference currently, but there is a difference in my experience. I'll see if I can get some screenshots for documentation and testing :)

Note that you must restart VS Code after toggling the setting to see any difference :)

Try toggling IntelliSense (IS) with this template:

; Something cool
myFunc() {
}

Then type m. With IS off, it'll suggest myFunc only because it occurs elsewhere in the file. With IS on, it'll suggest it and also tell you the function name. This applies to all functions in the current folder and all variables in the current file.

On:
