IDE: Oh! You mean farfignewton right? I found that in some completely unrelated library you didn’t write. Allow me complete that for you while you’re not paying attention.
I try my best to make my IDEs follow the principal that I should be able to type without looking at the screen, but apparently IDEs are really invested in return accepting completions to the point it’s often nit configurable when every other key is.

I swear to god this didnt used to be a problem few years ago. However im having that bug constantly now…
thank you for flooding my memory with a bunch of silly 90s car commercials
And people wonder why I stick to Vim.
I mean, if you want something dumb you can use any text editor.
One thing most text editors can do is print. I was shocked the other day when I couldn’t print a readme from vscode when someone asked for hard copy.
Print?
Why would you ever need to print?
Because some of us are bitter at the trees for generating so much pollen at this time of year and want revenge.
That’s fair, I didn’t think of that.
Yes, compared to the annoyances of “smart” IDEs, I do want something dumb.
No I’m good with smart IDEs. Anyway don’t people set up Vim as practically an IDE these days anyway? That’s what Vim users always tell me.
The advantage there is that you pick and choose how you turn things on, so you leave out the annoying bits.
using lsp in vim has pretty much the same problem especially with java
The obvious autocomplete is
, wherever you areThis is why I fear activating any AI features in the IDE.
Then it automatically imports the library for you too lol
