+# [201_95] Disable autocomplete options in macro editor
+
+### What
+Disabled the autocomplete popup suggestions in the macro editor while keeping the `\` hybrid command mode functional.
+
+### Why
+The macro editor is used for source editing of macros. In this context, autocomplete suggestions for macros popup unexpectedly and interfere with typing command names. However, the `\` key itself should still trigger the hybrid command mode `⟨\⟩`. As the search/replace buffers and other auxiliary windows rely on standard autocomplete behavior, the fix must explicitly target only the macro editor buffers.
+
+### How
+Modified `src/Edit/Interface/edit_source.cpp`:
+
+Updated `source_complete_try()` to return early when the current buffer (`buf->buf->name`) is identified as a macro editor buffer. The check properly matches `tmfs://aux/macro-editor` or specific `tmfs://aux/edit-*` URLs while explicitly exempting `edit-shortcuts` and `edit-comment` to avoid unintentionally disabling their autocomplete.
+
+```cpp
+// Disable autocomplete options in the macro editor
+string buf_name= as_string (buf->buf->name);
+if ((starts (buf_name, "tmfs://aux/edit-") &&
+     buf_name != "tmfs://aux/edit-shortcuts" &&
+     !starts (buf_name, "tmfs://aux/edit-comment")) ||
+    buf_name == "tmfs://aux/macro-editor") {
+  return;
+}
+```
+
+### How to test
+1. Open Mogan Editor.
+2. Open the macro editor via **Tools → Macros → New macro or Edit macros**.
+3. Press the `\` key and begin typing.
+4. **Verify**:
+   - The `⟨\⟩` bracketed tag (hybrid command mode) appears correctly.
+   - *No* autocomplete suggestion popup appears while typing.
+5. Test in a normal document:
+   - **Verify**: The `\` key triggers the hybrid command mode completely, and autocomplete functions as normal.
+6. Test in search/replace window:
+   - **Verify**: The `\` key triggers the hybrid command mode completely, and autocomplete functions as normal.
