Parentheses Newline is a Visual Studio Code extension that allows you to have the Accept Suggestions On Enter feature enabled, while still being able to create new lines when the cursor is inside empty parentheses.
This is particularly useful when coding in Dart/Flutter, as it provides the flexibility to place the closing parenthesis of a new widget on a new line instead of automatically autocompleting the first suggestion in the suggestion list.
Features
Allows enabling the Accept Suggestions On Enter in VSCode while also allowing you to create newlines when the cursor is inside empty parentheses.
Clicking enter inside empty parantheses will create a new line, even when there is a suggestion visible.
Clicking enter if you have typed anything and there is a suggestion will instead accept the selected suggestion.
Makes coding in Dart/Flutter smoother, as you can easily move the end parenthesis of a newly created widget to a new line without accidentally autocompleting the topmost suggestion.
