How can I configure IntelliJ not to automatically expand what I typed?
Right now I tried to type “com.” and IntelliJ is expanding it to “Companion.” for whatever reason. This is annoying. In VIM I press Ctrl-N is I want expansion. Yes, that is an extra character but it's the superior technique as it puts me into control.
Right now I don't even know how to type in “com.krischik.” as I get “Companion.” all the time and there seem to be no undo for a misguided expansion. I guess I have to copy paste if from another Vim instance.
Is there a way to deactivate auto expansion and get manual expansion instead? This kind of features should really be off by default.
Suggestion for improvement: Only auto expand when the suggestion box has so few options that there is no scrollbar any more and the user can see all possibilities left. Then you can just navigate to the correct one.

As far as I know, we don't have a default feature that would auto expand in this case.
Could you please try to disable all downloaded plugins including IdeaVIM from `Settings | Plugins | gear icon in the right of the "Installed" Tab | Disable All Downloaded Plugins` and restart the IDEA to see whether a plugin causes this problem? (You could re-enable them all together in the same place)
If it still doesn't help, please share below info:
* Does this auto expand happen in Kotlin file only? Or does it also happen in other file types like `txt`?
* Please share IDE settings from `File | Manage IDE Settings | Export Settings`. You could upload the setting file here and share the upload id: https://uploads.jetbrains.com/
