    I dont find options for this. Also i don't find option for switch language back to english. I better understand functionality in english instead my native language.

    Not really. Just keep on writing what you meant to write.

    Code completion is probably in the CppTools plugin, you can disable it if it's annoying for you.

    Settings for code completion are in TextEditor/Completion section of the configuration dialog.

    Assuming in need help identifying my API, but i Already know it so... it stops me from finishing the line...
    It shouldn't prevent you from anything. If you write something that makes suggested code invalid, the popup will go away. And it's not meant for identifying your API, it's for you not having to type it.

    Delete qtcreator_ru.qm or launch Creator with LC_ALL=C environment variable.

    I did this for himself, becouse not first year with Qt, but i think new users dont know about this and maybe can't find .qm files in share\qtcreator\translations\ path, or don't know what delete .qm or .ts. What if i invite chinese to my home and maybe he wan't use my QtCreator with him language? I think need add option for select language or file translation.

    I think he will have enough trouble using your Russian Windows installation he wouldn't worry about Qt Creator.

    On my work i know people who can work inside one program in years, but they fall into a stupor when they have to do the basic actions in OS, such as copying files to pendrive.

    Just type the next letter of the word you were typing. Honestly that's the first complaint I ever heard about code completion being there. Usually people complain some editor doesn't have that functionality. I think Trolls didn't assume anyone would ever want to turn it off.

    Did you try disabling the plugin as suggested?

    There is no options for disable plugins. You can rename or delete CppTools.dll but him depending from CppEditor. Where Creator is starting you get warning message about failed loading plugins and after this you can't edit source files, just nothing happens when you dblclick on .cpp or .h.

    Sure there is. Run Creator with -help and see for yourself.

    As for the functionality - you can always open cpp and h files using the plain text editor. It means no code highlighting and code completion of course.

    It's also doesn't work:
    Qt Code:
    1. D:\Work\qt-creator-1.3.0\bin>qtcreator.exe -noload CppTools
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

    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.
