[SOLVED] How to disable adding a space in autocomplete?
« on: February 09, 2026, 08:53:31 am »
When I use autocomplete (ctrl + space) there is always a space after the autocompleted word.
I want to get rid of these spaces.
There seems to be some related setting in Ide Option – Code tools – Identifier completion, but I see nothing about the space there.
I cleared all checkboxes in Ide Option – Code tools – Space, but it did not help.

I just tried in a fresh install (4.4), and did not get spaces (without any config changes). So it should be possible. But I can't think of which setting may cause this...

I did try, new app. Just did a "FormCreate" method, and completed
1) "Cascade;|" from Cas=> which should really have no space as it will have the semicolon
2) "Caption:=|;  " from Cap => which also had no space, not even after the :=


You could try to remove your config files, and see if going to the default will fix it.

I have reinstalled Lazarus today, and I have used  Uninstall and Remove previous settings during the installation.
Still, I have the spaces. It is not something new, actually.

Works for me
Lazarus 4.3 (old fixes)

I figured it out.
Why I type some text and I press ctrl+space I get the items in the list.
If I press Space to autocomplete the word, there is a space after it.
But if I press Enter there is no space.
Pressing Tab works if there is only one possible word.

Makes sense in a way.
The pressed "space" has to go somewhere....
