C# Auto Suggest

Opens the C# completion list as soon as you start typing a new identifier, like Rider does. You no longer have to press Ctrl+Space or rely on VS Code's quick suggestions.

var p|                   // suggestions open after the first letter
player.t|                // also after member access
Foo(a, b|)               // and inside argument lists

How it works

The extension watches edits in C# documents and runs Trigger Suggest when all of these are true:

• A single letter, _ or @ was typed (not pasted, not from undo/redo).
• It is the first character of an identifier: the previous character is not part of a word, and no word follows the cursor.
• The cursor is not inside a comment (//, /* */, * doc lines) or a string/char literal.
• There is a single cursor.

Requirements

A C# language extension that provides completions, such as C# or C# Dev Kit.

Related extensions

• C# Auto Parens: adds () when accepting a method from the completion list.
• C# Smart Semicolon: typing ; inside parentheses moves it to the end of the line.

Development

npm install
npm test          # compile, then run the unit and integration tests
npm run package   # build the .vsix

The integration tests download a separate copy of VS Code into .vscode-test/ and run inside it.

Press F5 in VS Code to launch an Extension Development Host.
