Suggestion Widget appears to eagerly

[jseanxu]

I have custom key bindings like these

{ "key": ";",  "command": "^acceptSelectedSuggestion", "when": "editorTextFocus && suggestWidgetVisible" },
{ "key": "space",  "command": "^acceptSelectedSuggestion", "when": "editorTextFocus && suggestWidgetVisible" },
...

to mimic how autocomplete works in the full VS, however, this makes typing something like

var foo = 1;

difficult in JavaScript/TypeScript because when typing 1, the suggestion widget eagerly appears with Int16Array and hitting ; autcompletes to it and you end up with

var foo = Int16Array;

Numbers seem to be words...

@jrieken for this scenario it would make sense when 7x24 intellisense only pops-up when there is a prefix match.

[jrieken]

Yes, if would be even more strict and say the current word never matching anything if its just numbers

[jseanxu]

Can we get a config hook to make it only prefix match?

[dbaeumer]

There is not to much I can do in TS land since the tsserver gets ask for code completion and provides the proper items. @joaomoreno I assign to you since it is more a code complete request issue.

@jrieken this is the one we were just talking about

[jrieken]

yeah, related to #752

Until we improve the API we don't automatically show suggestion when the current word is just a number.
