Chrome Developer tools: How to disable code auto complete?

Question

I am experimenting with Chrome DevTool's beautiful Workspaces / in-devtools code editor in the source panel, set up roughly like the accepted answer here: Chrome developer tools: View Console and Sources views in separate views/vertically tiled?

So far, it's awesome. The one drawback is that I detest code completion dropdowns and the browser entering things for me. When it gives me two quotes and I've only typed one, I really get irritated.

Anyway, is there a way to stop it automatically breaking my code trying to help out? If I really must, I'll revert back to my old gedit workflow, but then I'd be a sad bear.

Answer 1

Thanks (perhaps) to the bug that was filed (#308863), this is now a feature in Google Chrome.

To disable autocomplete in Chrome Dev Tools:

1. Open Dev Tools if it's not open already.
2. Open Settings. For me, this is a cog icon in the top right corner of the devtools window.
3. The General section of settings should hopefully be open automatically. If not, select it and scroll down to Sources
4. Untick/uncheck Autocompletion. Yay!
