Can VS code be configured to accept punctuation?

Question

This question especially addresses other C # developers who are switching to TypeScript in VS code.

I fell in love with code completion in VS C #. To illustrate, let's say I'm trying to write:

console.log('hello')

Using C #, I would:

• type "con"
• a list of suggestions appears, possibly starting with "console"
• since it is highlighted, and this is what I want by clicking ".". write out the "sole". so now i have:console.
• type "l", "log" - first sentence
• type "(", now I have: console.log('')
• the cursor is now in '
• enter hi

Currently with my VS code setup, the same thing can be achieved in JS / TS, striking tabevery time I want to accept an offer. But just clicking on the next punctuation to continue was really nice, and if you forgive me for taking care of it, it’s “fun.” I miss him. And there are no technical restrictions in languages ​​that I know would prohibit this behavior.

Does anyone know if there are any extensions or settings to enable this? Or where else can this conversation take place?

Answer 1

You can implement this using the macro extension . For this:

• Install Macro Extension

• , acceptSelectedSuggestion, .. Settings.json:

  {
      "editor.wordWrap": "on",
      "window.zoomLevel": 0,
      "git.enableSmartCommit": true,
      "macros": {
          "accept.": [
              "acceptSelectedSuggestion",
              {"command": "type", "args": {"text": "."}}
          ],
          "accept(": [
              "acceptSelectedSuggestion",
              {"command": "type", "args": {"text": "("}}
          ],        
          "accept=": [
              "acceptSelectedSuggestion",
              {"command": "type", "args": {"text": "="}}
          ]
      }
  }
  

• keybindings.json. :

  {
      "key": ".",
      "command": "macros.accept.",
      "when": "editorTextFocus && suggestWidgetVisible"
  },
  {
      "key": "shift+9",
      "command": "macros.accept(",
      "when": "editorTextFocus && suggestWidgetVisible"
  },
  {
      "key": "=",
      "command": "macros.accept=",
      "when": "editorTextFocus && suggestWidgetVisible"
  }
