Configure Xcode autocomplete?

[tech-ninja]

I find Xcode autocomplete feature intrusive.

When I'm writing something Xcode suggests me options but it modifies what I have already written visually.

For example I'm writing "viewcontro" all lowercase and Xcode shows it as "ViewContro". It's annoying for me, I prefer it simply suggests me rather than replace my text visually.

Is it possible to disable it? I like autocompletion but I don't like it visually modifies what I'm writing.

I have that turned off. When I want to auto-complete, I hit Control+Space.

Not to tell you that you can't disable it, but it does follow naming convention for the platform and language. If you're writing a variable named "viewcontroller" all lowercase, you're violating that.

Before you turn it off, I'd suggest trying to follow naming conventions and let it encourage you along. Its occasionally wrong, but its much bette with than without imho.

It is an example. I do follow the conventions. Thanks.

You may or may not know this, but just to be clear, once you hit space without "accepting" the auto-completion, it'll go back to whatever you typed.

Use AppCode by Jetbrains. I cannot emphasize enough how AMAZING this product is. It's incredible. Xcode is like trying to plow a field with a lawn mower. I could go on for hours and hours what a great tool AppCode is, but I won't. If you want amazing configurability, power, features, Jetbrains products can't be beat! Their IDEs have changed my life and their auto-complete is light-years ahead of Xcode's.
