Setting to disable autocomplete popups #7527

Motivation

When using supercollider with a screen reader, the autocomplete popups make it switch focus to an inaccessible list and one has to do something like switch to the post window and back to the editor to continue typing. I also in general find autocompletion distracting, so I would prefer if there was a way to turn them off, and perhaps have a shortcut to manually complete the current context.

Description of Proposed Feature

An item in the preferences of supercollider IDE to disable autocompletion popups.

Plan for Implementation

I am not intimately familiar with the internals of supercollider, but I doubt this would be hard to implement.

I am curious if there was any prior attempts to improve accessibility of the IDE, it works great with screen readers for the most part but some parts noteably the help browser and autocompletions are nearly completely inaccessible. I am not familiar with programming in QT unfortunately but I would gladly test and give suggestions.
