"Surround with snippet" command is gone

[josephgarnier]

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes/No

• VS Code Version: 1.86.0
• OS Version: Linux Mint 21.3 and Windows 10

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Launch VS Code without extension : code --disable-extensions.
2. Create a new file (with markdown extension, for example).
3. Write a word and highlights it.
4. In Command Palette, try to find Surround With Snippet :( (more details in VS Code documentation).

This bug appeared with the January update and was found on 3 different computers (2 on Windows, 1 on Linux).

@josephgarnier good catch, this regressed with 29a6631 (fyi @justschen)

There is a workaround because the action is still there but got renamed confusingly. It's new name is "More..."

[justschen]

ah good catch. will address this missing in command palette in recovery 2 potentially.

with the naming, I think we discussed having it as More... as opposed to having the full Surround with Snippet...

however, I understand it can be confusing. maybe having it be Snippet... instead?

edit: yep, seems like its just a naming convention change. After highlighting some text and going to command palette, Snippets: More... is the new name in the command palette.

Using "More..." in the code actions menu makes sense, but for the command palette the full name "Surround with Snippet..." should be shown

Issue is temporarily assigned to the recovery 2 milestone. If it is not merged during recovery because no other candidates appear, milestone should be changed to February 2024.

also #204587 fixes this for next insiders

Issue is closed because fix has been merged into release and main
