I have following settings.json:

"editor.quickSuggestions": false,
"editor.suggestOnTriggerCharacters": false,
"editor.wordBasedSuggestions": false,
"editor.quickSuggestionsDelay": 1000000

but despite that the code suggestions display immidiately after I write the code like this (javascript):

enter image description here

Other settings in settings.json are adopted properly, e.g. "editor.fontSize": 17.

Here is documentation for the Visual Studio Code IntelliSense where I found the settings above. I use VS Code 1.6.0 on OS X (I experienced it also on previous versions of the editor).

I have all the settings in User Settings settings.json, my Workspace Settings settings.json is empty.

You turned off code completion correctly. But parameter hints are still active. Turn them off with the following entry in your settings.json:

"editor.parameterHints.enabled": false
