Test: Provide a separate 'Insert snippet' command that allows the user to pick a snippet

[Tyriar]

Test for #9072, #9122, #6320, #9286:

• Windows - @DonJayamanne
• OS X - @Tyriar
• Linux - @kieferrm

There is a new command to insert snippets. Verify that

• there is a Show Snippets command in F1, and that
• it does what you expect

[waderyan]

I'm not seeing a Show Snippets command.

On macOS.

@waderyan, @Tyriar, that's odd I just tested this on my OSX and it works! Thought I'd mention that.
@Tyriar, yes I have tested this on windows and it works as expected (thought I'd test on OSX as well, as that's my primary OS)

[Tyriar]

@DonJayamanne are you on the same commit as Wade's in the screenshot?

[DonJayamanne]

@Tyriar, identital

Works for me on both OS X and Windows.

Suggest to make labels matching Snippets (Show Snippets, Preferences: Snippets) more distinct, e.g.,:
Expand Snippet, Preferences: Edit Snippets

[waderyan]

Ok I see it now. Weird it didn't show yesterday.

@jrieken maybe this was discussed when I was on vacation but is there a reason we cannot show the list of snippets in the intellisense widget (e.g. you invoke the command via keybinding and you get a list of suggestions filtered to all snippets)? I find it better to show the snippets closer to where I am typing.

[jrieken]

Yeah, it's mostly to be aligned with other editors and to avoid ambiguity between snippets and the current line text wrt to filtering, selection etc. Last there technical debt that didn't allow it ;-) We figured ship it and wait for feedback ;-)

[bpasero]

Ok. because I think it would be cool if I could assign a keybinding like

{ "key": "ctrl+space", "command": "editor.action.showSnippets", "when": "editorTextFocus && suggestWidgetVisible" }

And then essentially I could show snippets only by pressing Ctrl+Space twice (similar to Eclipse).
