How can I disable VSCode's suggestions for lan

Question

Currently, Visual Studio Code offers helpful hints on common language keywords like for and class and enum (I'm using Typescript). I don't need assistance with these words - they're just noise, blocking me from seeing more relevant entries.

Is there a way I can disable suggestions for 'language keywords' only, but leave all the rest?

Answer 1

From vscode 1.33.0 there's a setting: editor.suggest.filteredTypes.

It can be configured per-language too.

"[typescript]": {
    "editor.suggest.filteredTypes": {
        "keyword": false
    }
},

Answer 2

Please note that you now need to use:

"[typescript]": {
  "editor.suggest.showKeywords": false
}

which deprecates:

"[typescript]": {
    "editor.suggest.filteredTypes": {
        "keyword": false
    }
}

Answer 3

No, as of VS Code 1.21 you cannot filter out just the keyword suggestions in TypeScript and JavaScript.
