Something is severely different with intellisense and snippets

[alexdima]

I believe snippets were not offered before when the line had content on it.

I expect getTabFocusMode to be selected when intellisense pops up.

1.2.1 shows the same bad behaviour

1.1.1 also looks bad

Works better in 0.10.6

@jrieken @aeschli We gotta get a grip on this. What has changed and why?

[aeschli]

There hasn't been any changes recently, but that the strategy:
To avoid that snippets are too prominent in the intellisense proposals:
Offer a snippet only if the name matches the current word or if the completion position is after a whitespace/new line.

We had a more restricting policy for a short time where we would offer snippets only after a whitespace/new line, but had to change that again after user complaints.

The sort order changes were made by @jrieken.
IMO snippets must go out of code complete and we should have a separate key.

All in for that. Do we have a third, @jrieken ?

[jrieken]

I agree but I know it's thin ice. Just add options to control snippet sorting. We have users that want snippets sorted to the top, we have users that want the opposite.

Related issue: #6667

We already know there are people that want snippets on top of everything and other people that want them at the bottom. As I suggested in the related issue, I'm pretty sure the snippets lovers would we just fine if the snippets are shown on top only if the cursor is on a empty line and outside function parenthesis and object literal brackets.

@aeschli I'm sorry I do not agree this is a duplicate of #5223 - [sql] add support for mysql

I believe he meant #9286
