Hi, Intellisense is actually 'courtesy' of the underlying Visual Studio. It shouldn't really interfere with the actual typing (ie, it will only pop up a listbox) unless you  press Ctrl-Space, or, with ViEmu, Ctrl-N or Ctrl-P.

Ctrl-N and Ctrl-P can be made to not do anything with ViEmu, or do something else. You can also remove VS's assignment of Ctrl-Space.

Can you describe the reason you're seeking to disable it? It might suggest me some way to achieve it.

Regards,

Hi friseb,

Now I understand. Unfortunately, as far as I know, you can't really turn it on and off at will. The language service, which provides autoindent, syntax coloring, etc... also provides Intellisense. And it's statically enabled for all files in the project.

What version of VS are you using? VS2005 is known to cause more problems than others. If you haven't yet, I suggest installing SP1 in this case, as it's supposed to improve Intellisense performance.

Failing that, I'm at a loss at how I could provide such a feature.

Thanks,

Michael, thanks a lot for the detailed info! I was not aware of that QFE. It should help friseb resolve his problem.

friseb, I understand that using macros is a pain, but I don't think it really fits inside ViEmu - ViEmu is really about vi/vim emulation. I may give a thought to implementing some UI in Codekana, where it could actually make sense (Codekana provides a line-up of various assorted VS-enhancement features, mainly targeted towards code visualization, but covering different areas in any case).

Thanks,

You can disable C++ intellisense (which is the major cause of the CPU headache) by renaming (or deleting) feacp.dll in your VS directory.
