Editor suggest-while-typing

Feedback & Bugs
#1

Is there a way to switch the editor suggest-while-typing off? It is incredibly annoying as it has several suggestion for absolutely everything, and the only way to get rid of it is an extra key press.
Its functionality seems more tailored to letter-writing where normal sentence building would dismiss the drop-down after each word separator. But in a code environment where the bulk of your editing is to make changes and modifications, you are left with an open list whenever you make any change.
It’s mostly a nice editor, but this overeager feature makes it close to impossible to work efficiently with.

+1 here for switching off suggestions and hints.
I suspect it can be possible with Editor => Settings => Keybindings => Edit keybindings configuration, although my tries gives no effect.
As I am a vimer I would like to have .vimrc, but if it is not possible, maybe some of you VSCoders could help with the following to switch the suggestions off:

// Override key bindings by placing them into this key bindings file.
[
    {
        "key": "ctrl+p",
        "command": "editor.action.quickCommand",
        "when": "editorTextFocus"
    },
    {
        "editor.quickSuggestions": false,
    },
    {
        "editor.parameterHints": false,
    },
    {
        "editor.suggestOnTriggerCharacters": false,
    }
