It's just a colon, why does Monodevelop try so hard to help me?

When I’m typing code into Monodevelop, I’ll occasionally need to use colons (e.g. switch statements, commented explanations, etc.) The moment I add a colon after a word, Monodevelop brings up a menu of terms (starts with ActiveAnimation, AnimationOrTween, AssetModificationProcessor… it’s a long list).

The thing is, I NEVER actually want that list. How do I turn that hint off?

I guess I should clarify. It's not that I never want automatic code completion... it's just that I don't want it in that specific case. Usually, I find it quite useful and time-saving.

Use Unitron ;) It's less confusing for me, without all the popups

I'm fairly sure you'll have no luck with this. It's most likely an on/off affair.

Rats. Would I request that as a feature from Unity, or someone else?

sort of, I think there's a request feature button in monodevelop on the bottom right. Unity and monodevelop are different and work independently, so you don't want to bother unity if monodevelop has bad software and vice versa.

OK, it appears the answer is that it can’t be turned off. Thanks Matt Downey for letting me know how to request the feature from Monodevelop.
