thanks, works for me

I came here because the code completion is annoying me, and as I'm trying to learn, I personally prefer to type it all out. Setting a delay on the suggestions to 1000ms helped, but it wasn't enough, so full disable is the way forward for me.

You really only need this part:

"editor.suggest.snippetsPreventQuickSuggestions": false,
"editor.quickSuggestions": {
"other": false,
"comments": false,
"strings": false
}

...as long as you place it appropriately (look near the bottom):

{
    "workbench.startupEditor": "newUntitledFile",
    "[python]": {
        
    },
    "workbench.sideBar.location": "left",
    "workbench.colorTheme": "Monokai",
    "workbench.iconTheme": "vscode-icons",
    "window.zoomLevel": 2,
    "editor.minimap.enabled": false,
    "breadcrumbs.enabled": false,
    "editor.renderWhitespace": "all",
    "editor.renderControlCharacters": false,
    "update.showReleaseNotes": false,
    "telemetry.enableCrashReporter": false,
    "telemetry.enableTelemetry": false,
    "workbench.activityBar.visible": false,
    "files.associations": {
        "*.vfl": "vex"
    },
    "window.menuBarVisibility": "toggle",
    "editor.quickSuggestionsDelay": 1000,
    
    "editor.suggest.snippetsPreventQuickSuggestions": false,
    "editor.quickSuggestions": {
    "other": false,
    "comments": false,
    "strings": false
    }
}
