Disabling autocompletion in comments #161
Description
When writing comments in Lua, the autocompletion suggests words while typing. This happens without a delay and after typing the first letter of a word. I found the quickly flashing suggestions very distracting and wanted to disable them.
I assumed that I could change this in the Lua section in the settings, and tried this:
"Lua.completion.enable": false,
"Lua.completion.showWord": "Disable",
"Lua.completion.workspaceWord": false,
This didn't fix the issue, and I still saw the suggestions.
I opened an issue here: LuaLS/lua-language-server#2988
As noted in a comment on that issue, vscode-lua overrides the editor.quickSuggestions setting. This was unexpected to me. It would be helpful if this could be changed or documented.

I was struggling with this for a while as well, for all suggestions. I don't want popup suggestions and thought my vscode configuration was wrong. I don't think the extension should be overriding the option like this.
After applying the configuration in settings.json as mentions in the LuaLS issue, to match my normal settings with "inline", it's acting how I would expect.
