Matches my experience too.

I've done battle with the VSCode autocomplete many times over the years, trying to stop things from popping up automatically when I'm typing. My escape key has gotten more of a worked out over the years than a vim user on speed. I've twiddled every option in Settings but it has defeated me every time.

Yesterday was my latest battle and I think I have the upper-hand. I set the "millisecond delay until show" to some very large value and it seems to have worked. I can now typed without stuff flashing and popping up all the time.

I came back late yesterday to the computer. VSCode was still open, and showing one lonely autocomplete pop up on screen. pfff.. Time to add another zero to the delay setting I guess...

I can relate to this very much. I think I will try out your solution.
