I have "~" as my default prefix (see settings file). When I type "~" I get the interactive drop down (expected behavior). However, when I type ".", I also get the interactive drop down. I'd rather not have that behavior because a lot of programming IDE's will complete members after you press "."

I don't understand what you mean. According to your settings there are no popup appearing. Could you be more specific?

I'm not sure what settings are causing this, but i like them. I'm just curious as to why "." triggers the completion

Ok, now I see, this is a result of a combination of two options:
- Preferences/Text Expander/Display suggestions as you type - turned on
- Preferences/Auto Complete/Minimum word length to show suggestions - set to 1

As a result, you get suggestions immediately when you type the first character (~). On our computers, there is no trigger on "." - we will check what might cause it.

I love that it gives me a drop down on ~ because I can never remember my shortcuts!
