code completion not working in snippet VS Code [duplicate]

Question

So when I create a class for example in visual studio code, I can do it all manual and then code completion works just fine see image below:

So in the image above I have typed all the code so far by hand NOT using any snippets.

But in the image below I created the class using a snipped see image below: But When I fill in the required fields from the snippet code completion is not working. See image below:

So my question really is how do I get code completion / suggestions to work inside of the fields of a snippet? Or is this not possible in vscode?

If any clarification or extra information is needed let me know so I can add it!

Have you tried with [TAB] instead of [ENTER]? – Nemathelminth

else try [CTRL] + [SPACE] – Kaseykasha

The highlighted text is only for typing the name of the class, when done, press [TAB] and the text won't be highlighted anymore you can come back to add inheritance | interfaces – Nemathelminth

@IvanGarcíaTopete [TAB] just exits me out of the snippet.. :( – Daubigny

@Kaseykasha [CTRL] + [SPACE] yeah that works, but I was hoping for a way for VScode to do it automatically whilst typing. – Daubigny

@IvanGarcíaTopete yeah that is also possible but a bit of an inconvenience, and i was just hoping to make my life more convenient ;) – Daubigny

Answer 1

Try changing this setting to false:

Editor › Suggest: Snippets Prevent Quick Suggestions

Control whether an active snippet prevents quick suggestions.

"editor.suggest.snippetsPreventQuickSuggestions": false

true is the default, sounds like you want false.

This is a bad default, I literally thought this was a bug and was searching for the issue on github to support! Thanks for this awesome Q&A to both of you. – Frontier
