[FIXED] How to disable keyword / text suggestion in Spyder 4?

Issue

Specifically this popup box:

It appears almost every time I type anything, and it's kind of getting in the way.

I have disabled code completion in the settings, and uninstalled Kite, and disabled Jedi. Any ideas?

Solution

(Spyder maintainer here) To disable those completions (called fallback completions) in Spyder 5, you need to go to

Tools > Preferences > Completion and Linting > General

and deactivate the option called Enable Fallback provider.

For Spyder 4, please go to

Tools > Preferences > Completion and Linting > Advanced

and deactivate the option called Enable fallback completions.
