I had the same issue until i took the time to check out the docs and config it to my taste, it offers a fair amount of customization.

Granted, you shouldn't need to fiddle with it to make it usable, but i really didn't mind spending some time to get to know better the tools i'm using every day.

Can you share what you did? I find the number of options ins vscode bewildering.
You can check the default setting options and their meaning at https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/settings

For the intellisense/suggestion options you can search for `editor.suggest`.

If that's not enough, you can arbitrarily modify the UI of the editor using this extension https://github.com/be5invis/vscode-custom-css

My config file is like 1500 LOC long and it's a bit messy, but in a quick search i found i severely limited the available options, changed the position of the box so it does not cover the text immediately underneath, changed some colors and put some suggestions as inline hints instead, among other stuff:

"editor.snippetSuggestions": "inline" "editor.suggestSelection": "first" "editorSuggestWidget.background": "#00000088" "editorSuggestWidget.foreground": "#ffffffff" "editorSuggestWidget.selectedBackground": "#9960FF33"

Thanks, much appreciated!
