Autocomplete tips (drop-down list) disappear too quickly. How to increase the display time?

In the settings I found only the option

"auto_complete_delay": 50,

But this is a delay before the appearance of the drop-down list, but not the duration of its display. Are there any other ways?

  • I use Sublime Text 3. Autocomplete hints do not disappear at all as long as there are matches with the options. Please specify why they disappear from you and what is the problem. - Captain Flint
  • Well, transfer these settings to user settings and change "auto_complete_delay": 50 for as much as you want .... - Air

Faced with the same problem.

Initial data:

  1. I have installed autocomplete and auto-safe plugins. In the auto-safe settings, the automatic saving of files is enabled:

      { "auto_save_on_modified": **true**, "auto_save_delay_in_seconds": 1, "auto_save_all_files": true, "auto_save_current_file": "", "auto_save_backup": false, "auto_save_backup_suffix": "autosave" }

  2. Autocomplete tips (drop-down list) disappear too quickly.

How I decided it: Disable the automatic saving of files:

 { "auto_save_on_modified": **false**, "auto_save_delay_in_seconds": 1, "auto_save_all_files": true, "auto_save_current_file": "", "auto_save_backup": false, "auto_save_backup_suffix": "autosave" }

After this action autocomplete earned in the normal mode.

Auto-safe does not automatically save changes, but autocomplete works, now I’m thinking how to make both plugins work at the same time. If anyone has other solutions, please contact us.
