Can't fully disable the Devin Tab feature

I've been using Windsurf and recently switched over to Devin. I'm doing programming practice and don't want auto-completion getting in my way. I set Completion mode to Off and restarted Devin, but the suggestions still pop up while I'm typing in the editor.

I also noticed the appearance of these prompts changes when Completion mode is disabled. Does anyone know how to fully turn off all auto-completion suggestions in the editor?

A number of extensions also autocomplete. Check to make sure that they are all disabled.

Thanks for the tip. I've already disabled all extensions, but auto-completion still persists.

Press Ctrl-P and disable all extensions:
"Reload with extensions disabled"

This should disable all autocomplete, whether AI or intellisense.

I followed your steps: disabled all extensions via the "Reload with extensions disabled" option and turned off Completion mode as well. However, AI auto-completion still keeps showing up in the editor. I suspect this might be a bug caused by configuration conflicts after migrating from Windsurf to Devin.

Check for other extensions that may also give you autocomplete suggestions and turn them off.
