Vscode: [Code completion] don't close popup on cursor left/right

Created on 28 Apr 2020 · 6Comments · Source: microsoft/vscode

I'm a long term user of Eclipse and one of the things I really miss when using VSCode is that the autocomplete popup closes when pressing cursor left or right.
The behaviour is best understood with two little gifs

Eclipse:
eclipse_autocomplete

VSCode:
vscode_autocomplete

The way Eclipse does this is way more intuitive an reduces distraction from what you actually want to achieve (like looking for a method that is quite similar than the one you already selected.
