Disable autocomplete suggestion bar in utop

How can I disable the autocomplete suggestion bar in the utop OCaml toplevel?

Solution

  • From man utop:

    To  turn  off  utop's  advanced prompt features, add the following to init.ml
to turn off respectively (a) colors and the upper information line, and (b) the
lower boxed list of possible completions:

        #utop_prompt_dummy;;
        UTop.set_show_box false

    Thus, I added UTop.set_show_box false;; to ~/.ocamlinit and the autocomplete suggestion bar was disabled.
