Wrap with abbreviation history

[benlane]

Coming from atom this is a feature that i miss.

When wrapping with abbreviation you could use the up and down arrows to go through previously used abbreviations.

So if you had created a long abbreviation and it was slightly wrong or you wanted to reuse you wouldn't have to type it out all over again.

That's a great feature.
PRs are welcome.
I can guide anyone who wants to take this up.
https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/blob/release/1.19/extensions/emmet/src/abbreviationActions.ts#L32 is where to start.

Hi @ramya-rao-a,
I'd like to work on this. It'd be great if you could explain the issue in more detail, with some steps to reproduce.

Thanks.

I think I spoke too soon.
We have a control to take user typed input. (vscode.window.showInputBox)
We have a control to take user input from given array of choices. (vscode.window.showQuickPick)
For this feature, we would need both.
An array of choices to choose from, and to type in a value that is not in the array.

AFAIK we dont have a control that can do this.
@bpasero Can you confirm?

Hi @shobhitchittora
I could take a look at this issue if you're not working on it.
Lemme know.
Thanks

Is there any progress with this? Thx!

Hello @Hlusta ,
sorry for the late reply. I haven't had time working on this. You're welcome to take it if you wish unless someone else already has.

This task currently depends on extensions being able to display inputboxes (not sure if quick-input) with history. @TylerLeonhardt I'm wondering if there's already an issue to track that feature?

@rzhao271 Yes that's #18232
