typing while foo < autocompletes to while foo <>

[trafnar]

if you want to type while foo < bar it autocompletes to while foo <> forcing you to delete the extraneous >

There's really no way about it in vscode atm, but the first result of the completion should be a blank item that completes by typing space? So that typing < and then should erase the closing >? If it does not happen for you, see if you have editor.acceptSuggestionOnCommitCharacter toggled off in vscode settings. Maybe see if changing editor.suggestSelection to first also helps for this.

I tried changing that setting with the same result, I actually immediately get the closing > upon typing the opening < without having to press space or anything. Same thing doesn't happen with typescript typing while(foo < bar)

It is very weird that you don't get a list of completions there. Do you never get a list of tags when you write <?

[somebee]

Do you have editor.suggestOnTriggerCharacters turned on? If not, could you try that?

[somebee]

Do you still have this problem @trafnar? Did you check the setting I mentioned? If you're not seeing the same as my screenshot above there is something very wrong with completions on your setup so I'd love to figure out why :)

[trafnar]

Yes it does still happen. I tried setting editor.suggestOnTriggerCharacters to true and it still happens.

Does that mean that you do not get any suggestions usually when you type in < in an imba file? Another potential reason: Can you set "editor.suggestSelection" to "first"? If that is the culprit I'll try to find ways around it

[trafnar]

ok, when I turned off editor.acceptSuggestionOnCommitCharacter it fixed the issue. And I see now that you asked me to do that in your first comment but I missed it.. my bad 😭

This issue actually happens in the scimba editor too!
