6 months ago I'm experiencing this with macOS as well. The IntelliSense works for a brief second before completely going away. Tagging @L-I-V because this is a relatively old issue. It seems to only affect imported code (for example, the iMACD IntelliSense always works as expected, but CTrade doesn't.)
Working IntelliSense
About half a second later, it disappears completely
Here is my settings.json
```json { "C_Cpp.default.forcedInclude": [ "/Users/zane/.vscode/extensions/l-i-v.mql-tools-2.0.2/data/mql5_en.mqh" ], "C_Cpp.default.includePath": [ "${workspaceFolder}/**", "${workspaceFolder}/Include" ], "C_Cpp.default.compilerPath": "", "C_Cpp.default.intelliSenseMode": "macos-clang-arm64", "C_Cpp.errorSquiggles": "disabled", "C_Cpp.autocompleteAddParentheses": true, "mql_tools.context": true, "files.exclude": { "**/*.ex4": true, "**/*.ex5": true }, "files.associations": { "*.mqh": "cpp", "*.mq4": "cpp", "*.mq5": "cpp" } } ```The only error message I see is in the "Extension Host" output panel (suspected culprit):

I've also tried:
- Using
"Mode 1"for IntelliSense - Reinstalling the C/C++ and MQL Tools extensions
- Ensuring that
data/mql5_en.mqhexists - Using just the folder instead of a VSC workspace
Environment Microsoft Windows 11 Home 10.0.22621 Build 22621 Visual Studio Code (VSC) 1.83.1 Metaeditor 5.00 build 2043 (21 Mar 2023) MT4/MQL4
Extensions MQL Tools v2.0.2 compilemql4 v0.0.1 (with the proper parameters to my project) C/C++ IntelliSense, debugging, and code browsing. v1.17.5 (VSC asked to install this due to dependencies with MQL Tools)
Problem The first time, I installed the above extensions to VSC. Everything worked well. VSC could recognize my MQL4 code. If I type IMA, for instance, a pop-up window would open, and suggestions would display the entire iMA function within the pop window, which is useful and handy. I do not know what happened, and it stopped working. My MQL code is no longer recognized. I have entered all parameters (Include4 Dir, Metaeditor4 Dir) correctly as done the first time. The 3 buttons (Checking the syntax of mqh/mq4/mq5 files (without compilation, Compilation of mq4/mq5 files, Compilation of mq4/mq5 files using script) seem to work just fine. VSC launches Metaeditor to compile. However, I do not have this suggestion/pop-up to work.
There seems to be an issue with Mql_tools: Intelli Sense Mode. I changed the mode, restarted, reinstalled VSC, delete settings.json, etc, I still do not get the pop-up to display and have the VSC recognize my MQL4 customs and built-in functions.
I have tried to resolve this issue for 2 days; and at this point, it seems more appropriate to create this issue.
Please advise.
