This is a superset of VSCode add parentheses when automcompleting functions
There is a setting in VSCode javascript: complete function calls that automatically adds in the parentheses and signature when you accept the autocomplete suggestion for a javascript function. (The equivalent setting exists for Typescript.)
For example, if you have the function function test(a,b) {return a+b;}, and you type tes and accept the suggestion, you'll get the full test(a,b) completed, not just test.
However (see gif at bottom for demos),
- it appears not to work in
<script>tags - it appears not to work for methods, e.g.
document.getElementById() - it appears not to work for built-ins, like
new Date()
thus restricting its usefulness.
I'm wondering if anyone is aware of a way to extend the autocomplete functionality to include these scenarios.
I've opened a Github issue, in case this is a bug, but it's also possible I'm just misunderstand something. https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/119035
Finally, here's a gif to demo the cases above: https://gfycat.com/carefulvibrantblackbuck
This is all running latest VSCode with no extensions.
