IntelliCode Completions

IntelliCode Completions predicts up to a whole line of code based on your current context. Predictions appear as grey-text to the right of your cursor. This extension supports Python, JavaScript, and TypeScript.

This extension is automatically installed as a part of the main IntelliCode extension. If you are looking to disable grey-text predictions while keeping the stars that help rank the IntelliSense list, you can configure this behaviour per language using the instructions in the FAQ below, or uninstall just this extension.

How to use

Completions will appear after your cursor as you type, with a faded color. At any time, you can accept the suggestion by pressing the tab key. Additionally, you can dismiss any shown suggestion by pressing the ESC key.

Users' IntelliSense selection helps steer the model's prediction. When the IntelliSense window is open, pressing 'TAB' once accepts the token selected in the InteliSense window, while a second 'TAB' accepts the rest of the inline completion.
