Add option to always show word based suggestions

See original GitHub issue
  • VSCode Version: 1.9.1

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Go to an empty TypeScript file
  2. Enter fooBarBaz
  3. Enter a new line and then type fooBa

Expected result: word based quick suggestions should show.

Actual result: no quick suggestions. Ctrl+space shows a popup with content ‘No suggestions’.

Try the same in a JavaScript file and it works.

I would like IntelliSense and word based suggestions for my TypeScript.

Because we now have suggestions from a smart provider, we don’t ask the word-based provider anymore.

Why don’t you keep asking the word-based provider to complete the list of suggestions? The ‘smart’ provider is not always so smart, and word-based suggestions are enough most of the time. In this case there would still be some word-based suggestions even if the smart provider does not give any.

Just the same way you always add the snippets provider: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/blob/master/src/vs/editor/contrib/suggest/common/suggest.ts#L52

This seems to affect every suggestion provider, not only TS/JS: fr1zle/vscode-elixir#56

I think I found the solution to this. This extension does this feature.
