How do I disable VSCode autofill and better access the popup index?

[RobAntMar]

I am currently following a Udemy course for working in Unity, and I’m running into an annoyance.

I’m trying to type out (Input.GetKey) but for some reason VSCode keeps autofilling (ProcessInput.) whenever I press the “period”. As a side, when typing out code there should be a small popup window with an index containing keywords or phrases to pull from, but I’m not getting it.

Currently I have a Unity and Unity snippets extension added. Is there anything else that I need to add or settings that need to be changed?

Hi RobAntMar,

Welcome to our community!

First of all, check if there is using UnityEngine; at the top of your class. Make sure there are no superfluous namespaces there because other namespaces could contain an Input class, too, and that could make VS Code suggest the ‘wrong’ classes and methods. Remember you can also look at the lecture code changes via the link in the Resources of each lecture.

If everything is the same, follow my suggestions in this thread:

Visual Studio Code does not work for me

Hi guys, Since many of you are experiencing issues with Visual Studio Code, I figured it might be a good idea to create a thread with potential solutions. I hope this will help. If not, please create a new thread, and don’t forget to mention what you tried to no avail. Typical Problems: I cannot see any code suggestions. The compiler does not show any errors if I make a mistake. VS Code does not recognise any namespaces.

Did this help?

Unfortunately not. I will provide screenshots from the Udemy course to better illustrate what I’m talking about.

The autofill I needed to find a work around to prevent it from happening. I still cannot get the windows shown in the screenshots. Both of those are taken from udemy course videos for the project that I am currently doing. The net framework did get me a partial window, but still no list or descriptors.

You are looking for IntelliSense.

Microsoft released a new extension last months, which I mentioned there and which improved VS Code for many students. You tested that as well, didn’t you?
