vscode how to disable tab autocomplete

Question

When type something, vscode show some suggestions, I press tab. the suggestion will autocomplete what I typing.

Now I want to disable that. I want when I press tab, it will not autocomplete.

I do not want to disable suggestion or autocomplete, I just want to disable the tab thing

This is what I've got in the setting

"editor.acceptSuggestionOnCommitCharacter": false,
"emmet.triggerExpansionOnTab": false,
"editor.tabCompletion": "off",
"editor.suggest.snippetsPreventQuickSuggestions": false

problem remains, the tab thing still working

Check the keyboard shortcuts page (Ctrl+K Ctrl+S) and figure out what commands are bound to Tab. (Maybe there is something like 'accept suggestion'?) — HolyBlackCat

As @HolyBlackCat suggested, disable the command acceptSelectedSuggestion which is triggered with a tab key. You will end up with this in your keybindings.json:

{
    "key": "tab",
    "command": "-acceptSelectedSuggestion",
    "when": "suggestWidgetVisible && textInputFocus"
  },
