IntelliJ Idea 10: how to turn off auto-complete in .txt files

I've just upgraded to IntelliJ IDEA 10, and it has started doing something extremely annoying. While writing documentation in a .txt file it has started giving me word suggestions as I type. This is, instead of helping, just irritating me while also consuming system resources. I haven't been able to find a way to turn this off in the Settings window. Perhaps there's a way of telling Idea not to do this for certain file types or in code comments?

What i did was : https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-64781/Allow-auto-completion-for-plain-text-files-to-be-disabled

Settings/Preferences -> General -> Editor -> Code Completion

disable all plugin which allow to auto complete but make sure to turn it on when required

Goto

Settings/Preferences -> General -> Editor -> Code Completion

and untick Show the parameter info popup to something like 1000 (ms), then it give you time to carry on typing before the pop up.

Or disable settings such as Show suggestions as you type

For intelliJ 2016.2.2, it defaults to auto insert code suggestions which is very annoying. Even when typing space, it overrides what I'm typing and puts something random in. Here's the solution:

  1. Go to Settings > Editor > General > Code Completion

  2. Then, UNCHECK the box that says "Insert selected variant by typing dot, space, etc." See screenshot below
