How do i turn off ALL the code completion in Creator ?

It does work. That's why you see the window with unresolved dependencies.

It's turned off plugin, but CppEditor depending from him and how result source code editor don't worked, so this is not a solution.

It's hard for something to work if something it depends on is not there. A proper solution is to clone Qt Creator git repository and implement the functionality you want by yourself.

A solution on Windows would be UltraEdit. You edit your code in that, and then when you want to compile, you switch to QtCreator and hit the compile hotkey. I do this at work as the IDE they use is garbage - notepad would be better! (Seriously, for a £3000 product, you wouldn't expect the line to flicker after each character typed due to the constant redrawing)

There are similar alternatives for Linux.

Using other code editor is avoiding problem. Need more settings in QtCreator and developers must somehow know about this, so i think topicstarter must create bugreport (suggestion) for QtCreator or, as say wysota, go to QtCreator git repository and suggest patch.

Qt Creator is mainly a text editor. Switching to Qt Creator just to complile your code doesn't make sense. It's faster to do it from the command line.

Command line can be annoying though. If you compile a source file and find out you have 20,000 errors because of a missing semicolon, you can't find that out because the first error is beyond the start of the buffer. Qt Creator will show you the first error and even let you move through them and jump to the (sometimes approximate) offending line of code.

It will jump with the external editor? If not then it's just a matter of redirecting make's output to something else than the command line console - i.e. a file or a pipe. Some advanced editors would even allow running make from within themselves and would show the output in some nice window.

Yes, I agree. Double clicking the error will result in Creator's editor opening and jumping to the error line, but usually the error is so simple it can be fixed easily, so you don't mind using Creator's editor for that (plus the external editor will notice when you save the file).

Personally however, I want more code completion, not less. So I use Visual Studio with Visual Assist plugin. I used to alt+tab back to creator, but now I compile directly in VS and use QtDesigner for editing ui files.
