Monodevelop autocomplete on enter, not space.
Is there any way to get autocomplete to fill in text when I hit enter as opposed to space? As it is at the moment I will be trying to set up a for loop (for example) and when I type "i = 0" I end up with "if = 0". I have found how to turn autocomplete off, but it is a feature I am used to from other IDE's, and with this one change it would be great. Thanks!
Let me know of if your find something I too have run into this issue. Enter would be nice to change it into. But so far the best I have found is you have click away

You can enable "suggestion mode" in Edit->Toggle Completion Suggestion Mode.
In this mode, suggestions are only filled in if you press enter or tab.

Wow, not only is that a godawful name for this feature, but the menu doesn't give any indication of whether it's currently enabled or disabled. What horrible UX.
