Hello dear SAS users,
I have started using the online SAS Studio recently and have to say that I am satisfied.

However there is one little thing that is limiting me. 

It is a "whisperer" function which I do not know how to turn off.

Eg. I am writing this simple SQL code:

create table PCG as
select *
from tableA  as a

And as soon as I write ...tableA as a -> an auxiliary table pops up that tells me which Keywords can be used within specified command which I admit can be helpful but more often it is just annyoing because I quickly press the Enter button to go on another row but the SAS thinks I want to use one of the offered Keywords.
Of course the auxiliary table pops up everytime I am using any Keywords but it is annoying only when I am using the Enter button to go on another row.

 

I tried turning off the 'Show suggested commands' option in General in Preferences but it did not help and I could not find any other options in preferences.
I am using the verison - Long-Term Support 2023.03.

 

So my question is: 

Is there a way to turn of this "Whisperer" function?

 

Thank you for your answer.

Top right corner -> [3 bars 3 dots icon] -> Preferences -> Code and Log -> "Enable autocomplete, Enable hint" ?

Dear @yabwon, thank you for your answer but in my version when I go to preferences there is no "Enable autocomplete, Enable Hint" option in Code Log in Preferences.
