Despite disabling cursor tab (I have setup shortcuts to disable/enable cursor tab), these suggestions still show while I’m writing code.

I like to periodically write some code without ai suggestions, especially when working in unfamiliar languages, to ensure understanding of syntax, etc. so seeing these suggestions despite tab being disabled is problematic.

Hey, that shouldn’t be happening. Are you using any other extensions for autocompletions?

Hey @ryan1431  
Could you share your shortcuts to enable/disable AI tab completions?  
I’m trying to write a ■■■■ comment docstring and it keeps interrupting! 😛
