CodeLite IDE

First of all - thanks a lot for this wonderful tool. I checked many Linux-based IDEs - CodeLite is the only one that comes close to be actually usable.

I understand that majority of people love code completion. But I prefer not to be bothered with code completion pop-ups or messages that say there are too many matches. They slow down my typing. Is there a way to turn off code completion during code editing?

No. if your source file is C++ / C codelite will offer code completion.
You can disable the completion for the language keywords from 'Settings -> Tags Settings -> Display completion box for language keywords'
Beside that, the code completion is only triggered when you hit Ctrl-SPACE or type '::' , '.' , '->'

When this message appears, there is a little checkbox which says "don't annoy me again" - click it
