How to cancel autocomplete in Visual Studio 2015 by pressing "Space"?
Looks like there is no such option.
When I see intellisense auto-complete list and press "Space" VS automatically print highlighted item. I want cancel it. VS 2013 doesn't behave itself like that.
Plus when I press "{" VS 2015 automatically print right "}" I would cancel it too.
Language c#.

To disable autocomplete you can use:
Edit->IntelliSense->Toggle Completion Mode(Ctrl+Alt+Space)
This will also disable it for all characters. This suits me but may not be exactly what you are looking for, VS2013 allowed you to select which characters and specifically Space I'm not sure why this was removed.
To Disable brace completion:
Tools->Options->Text Editor->C#->General->Automatic Brace Completion
The Escape key will cancel intellisense and allow you to continue typing anything you want without interferences. Just tried it on VS2013 to confirm.
As to the "{" being closed with a "}", this is usually caused by an extension such as Resharper, MS PowerTools, or similar.
If you run Resharper, check Resharper > Options.
Under Environment > IntelliSense > Completing Characters.
Uncheck "Complete on space" for the desired language.
