I am new to Visual Studio and would like to disable the IntelliSense automatic suggestions without disabling IntelliSense entirely. More precisely, I don't want popup hints continually covering the code I'm working on, but I'd still like to be able to use Ctrl-Space to request suggestions at times. I'm coding in C/C++.
I've seen information on how to do this for Visual Studio Code, but I haven't found anything similar for Visual Studio.
Or if this is just a matter of me not understanding how to properly use Visual Studio or IntelliSense, please help me understand or point me to a forum where true Microsoft devotees hang out.
The solution is to go to Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> C/C++ -> General and uncheck Auto list members.

Turning off auto-suggestions in Visual Studio 2019 without turning off
IntelliSense
Solution
Edit Menu-->Intellisense-->click Toggle Completion Mode
After that, when you type, it will not cover the code you are working on automatically.
Hope it could help you.

I am using Visual Studio Community and Visual GDB to code and debug STM32 projects.
The problem:
When I type something that is known to Intellisense, (path, variable or anything really), the suggestions come up briefly and then immediately disappear therafter. For that split second I can see that Intellisense has the correct suggestions, but TAB or ENTER does not work since the suggestions disappear very quickly.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thank you
You might try to disable any extensions in Visual Studio.
I had the same problem, surfed around and read in some places that disabling extensions would work.
So I disabled them one by one and the problem was gone.
I recently re-installed Visual Studio due to some issues with the integration with Intel Parallel Studio. After reinstalling both, the integration issues are gone, but now for some reasons I have two issues. One is minor: automatic outlining has been disabled by default, and I have to re-enable it every time I start VS using Edit > Outlining > Begin Automatic Outlining (or something similar). Annoying, but at least it works.
The second issue however is that IntelliSense is not working. Under Edit > IntelliSense, Toggle Completion Mode is grayed out. After reading the answer to Visual Studio C# IntelliSense not automatically displaying, I followed the instructions and went to Tools > Options > Text Editor > Fortran. However all three of the check boxes are grayed out. Is this a known issue and does anyone know how to fix it?
Since it is also related to the third party tool, I suggest you post the issue to the Intel® Visual Fortran Compiler forum, there you would get direct solution like this case:

In addition, a extension tool Fortran CodeNav which also add the IntelliSense feature, you could also use it in your side.

I downloaded the trial of Resharper and installed it today. The first thing it asked me was that version of shortcut keys I wanted to use. It asked me if I wanted to override some standard Visual Studio shortcut keys. My answer was ##$# no!
However, the first thing I did was a Ctrl-Dot on a class reference that was missing an import. Immediately, the Resharper context menu came up which is similar to the VS one, but is missing the item for automatically adding the import.
How do I keep Resharper from usurping VS functionality?
Edit: Ouch! After using this thing for a couple of hours, I've realized that it has totally overridden loads of VS functionality. This thing is awful. I just want to use the toolset, I don't want a completely new IDE. If I wanted a different IDE, I'd go out and buy one. How do I turn off all Visual Studio integration except for the menu that lets me run the tools?
There are a lot of different settings you can turn on and off to allow Visual Studio to behave more like Visual Studio when Resharper is in action. What's I've learned to do is just turn it on when I want to use it, and turn it off when I want to use Visual Studio.
Tools -> Options -> Resharper Ultimate General -> Suspend / Resume Now
I have a really big project where having intellisense would be more than helpful, but I am not able to make it works. I went there to try to resolve my problem, but not luck.
I am using vs2010 really only as an IDE, we do compile our code in cygwin with a Makefile system. I don't know if it might be a problem for intellisense?
But then, I discovered an Enhanced IntelliSense feature with Visual Assist X, installed it and voilà! Intellisense magically starts to work really really well! (+ all cool feature of VAssistX indeed)
Soon as I disable VAssistX, IntelliSense stops working (always having this Troubleshooting IntelliSense in C++ Projects)
Any idea why IntelliSense not working without VAssistX? (I am not sure my compagnie is willing to pay 250$ bucks)
thanks
When your project is a pure native C++ project it should work. Intellisense support for C++/CLI was removed in Visual Studio 2010. See this link from the Microsoft website
I have used code snippets in VS 2005, VS 2008 like: {code snippet},{TAB},{TAB}. Since I migrated to VS 2010 I cannot use the 2 TAB combination anymore. How can I access it? I feel like a real noob :)
Edit:
I guess it works, but not for all of them... I tried for the get and didn't do anything. Maybe I should check what is with the get inside code-snippet manager.
The Tab+Tab combination is still the way to insert code snippets in Visual Studio 2010. It's likely another setting which is breaking this behavior. I would try reseting my Visual Studio settings and see if that fixes the issue
Tools -> Import / Export settings
Navigate through the wizard
Use the profile of your choice
It should be the same combination as before (tab-tab works for me!). It may be worth checking for any extensions you've installed that might override shortcuts...
