(Experimental duplicate detection) Thanks for submitting this issue. Please also check if it is already covered by an existing one, like:

• debug console should inherit editor settings (#45156)

[isidorn]

I acknowledge the limiation. The issue here is that we manually set acceptSuggestionOnEnter: "smart" for the debug console so that when the user inputs the whole match and presses enter it would get immediatly evaluated.

Leaving this open as a feature request.

THIS IS SO ANNOYING!

this Enter -> TouchList

[johan-boule]

On a side note, i find the mere existence of the 'enter' shortcut for autocompletion to be a misfeature. There's 'tab' for that. I suppose removing the shortcut altogether is the "solution".

This problem is very annoying. I have to press "space backspace enter" to skip autocomplete instead of just an "enter" to execute a single command. It makes debug console almost unusable. Please fix this bug.

[andrewlstewart]

This is an incredibly frustrating feature of an otherwise great IDE.

[ivanhernandez13]

Is this FR still a possibility? From the duped issue above looks like there was an intention to reopen this bug.

[isidorn]

Yes, we can reopen. And we might weclome PRs that tackle this.

[damdaepark]

Is it fixed now? It's really annoying.

[flshfm]

Might be a little help until this gets closed: If you change the When Expression of the Keyboards shortcut "Debug:Stop" to "inDebugMode && !inDebugRepl" you can Esc + Enter

This problem is very annoying. I have to press "space backspace enter" to skip autocomplete instead of just an "enter" to execute a single command. It makes debug console almost unusable. Please fix this bug.

[kyle-mallah]

This is the most annoying thing. there is editor.acceptSuggestionOnEnter, but no terminal.acceptSuggestionOnEnter or related

[joshenders]

Also experiencing this issue. This is quite problematic as others have mentioned because debugging now involves cancelling the autosuggestion by striking the escape key before interacting. It's a very frustrating experience.

There is debug.console.historySuggestions but for me it doesn't work: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/110838

Also, as I explained here I think not only are working options needed for all these enter-autocompletes scenarios but also the default should be changed throughout the IDE: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/108536 (to have enter auto-completing default to off everywhere, both editor and terminal)

I think the whole situation around auto-complete settings needs an entire rethink. I spend an entire day trying to turn everything off because it's spread out over multiple settings (and I still use auto complete all the time, just without the very bad enter-autocompletes shortcut which is an absolute nightmare in languages without line terminators like Python) and it's still not fully off due to e.g. this bug/ticket here and maybe me missing more related settings. This should not be my first IDE experience. It is way too hard to get a sane configuration, the defaults need to be better.

please fix!!!

[isidorn]

This is fixed now. Apart from that we introduced debug.console.acceptSuggestionOnEnter to control this behaviour.
