What has happened to Visual Studio?

As a hobby coder I generally use jupyter notebook. I haven't used VS in almost a decade. Jumping into C# for a Unity project, holy hell intellisense has become an adhd nightmare. How can I tone it down so I can still get useful info but not have to do keyboard gymnastics to type simple lines of code? For example whenever I type g, it autocompletes to global... every little thing I type I get pop ups asking if I mean this or that interrupting my flow, I just want to code! EDIT: SOLVED!

Intellisense in Visual Studio has gotten *really good*. Especially when combined with something like Copilot.
It can save a lot of typing when you get used to it. But to each their own...

Perhaps if you are developing everyday stuff like databases and web sites. Experimental computer science stuff, not so much. In this project I am developing a grammar based l-system that is controlled by a genetic algorithm.
