Autocomplete is inserting selection after typing period

[cperryk]

Autocomplete is inserting the selected suggestion after the user types a period. This is not mentioned in the User Guide, which says Pressing Tab or Enter will insert the selected member., and there appears to me to be no clear way to disable this via the keymap. I suspect this is a behavior that some users may expect, but it would be nice if there was some way to disable it, as it makes for a frustrating experience to type out property names that Intellisense is not suggesting.

• VSCode Version: 1.22.1
• OS Version: macOS 10.13.1
• Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create a Javascript file test.js
2. Type window
3. Type .

Because the first suggestion is addEventListener, the result will be window.addEventListener.

Unfortunately, I don't see any keybinding in the default keybindings that attaches acceptSelectedSuggestion to "." as this previous issue alludes to. Adding the following to my custom key bindings no longer appears to disable this behavior:

{
        "key": ".",
        "command": "-acceptSelectedSuggestion"
}

JavaScript and TypeScript treat . as a commit character that accepts the current suggestion. This helps you write dot accessors more quickly.

To disable this behavior, set:

  "editor.acceptSuggestionOnCommitCharacter": false
