Turning off the autocomplete/intellisense/whatever is always the first thing I do when forced to use an IDE (as opposed to a text editor). I find the feature distracting and unhelpful. Curious that I'm so opposed to autocomplete in text editors when I'm so attached to globbing in my shell. What's the difference? Well the first thing is that the shell doesn't use pop-ups that hide my code. This is my #1 problem with "over helpful" editors - popups appear, unasked for, right on top of the code I'm looking at. Secondly, the shell only helps me out when I ask it to. I have to press <TAB> to trigger the globbing. If the shell can't guess what I want, then I just get nothing - I have to press <TAB> a second time to ask it to give me a list to choose from. I'm not sure what the equivalent would be with a programmer's editor. The <TAB> key is pretty important for indentation, but a Ctrl+KEY combo might be too clumsy. Where could the list of choices go where it would be both near to the cursor and not obscure nearby code?
