Disable proposals for class / interface names in SE80 repository browser

[ThomasKruegl]

Hi,

when i start entering a class (or interface) name in the repository browser (in Transaction SE80), as soon as i stop typing for a second, the system searches for proposals.

While this may be useful sometimes, most of the time it just interrupts my typing, because it takes a moment to load the proposals. Sometimes i do not recognize this immediately, some of the typed letters are lost, and i have to move around and correct that.

Is there a way to disable the proposals, or change the timing? So that i can make at least a slightly longer pause inbetween typing before the proposal loading starts.

I am aware that this feature is maybe useful for many developers, but i am definitely not alone thinking it is more of a disturbance..

I searched about that, the only thing i found is Disable the "fussy typeahead" drop-down search ... | SC. I tried that setting, but it had no effect here.

kind regards,

Thomas

Does this proposal come from fuzzy type-ahead or from history of your input, in this case you have to deactivate this history in another option of SAP GUI (local data?)- but will you regret it?

It is definitely not my history. To be sure i just wrote an input i never used before, and got lots of proposals i have not even seen ever before.

So it comes from search help (hint from dropdown list icon) so you may be required to change this search help (sscr key?)

• Either globally : call SDSH_CONFIG, deselect the Use Proposal Search for Input Fields option
• For thise search help Call SE11 on search help, navigate to Definition, Enhanced Options section: uncheck "Proposal Search for Input Fields" (also "Multi-Column Full Text Search (Database Sprecific)"  if required)
• Also on dynpro definition there should be an option

Regards,

Raymond

PS: Just find a reference note; 1971775 - Functional or Performance Issues Related to the Type-Ahead Search Functionality, with explanation on how to deactivate.

After unchecking this option and restarting SE80 this functionality was disabled for me (SAPGUI 7.40 patch level 4):

Perfect! Either i missed that option so far, or maybe it is fairly new.. Anyways, thank you

Raymond: Thanks for you effort too
