intellisense suggestions irrespective of first letter (full fuzz completion) #2097

@kiuuik

Description

@kiuuik

This is a feature request.

Environment data

  • VS Code version: 1.25.0 insider on windows and 1.24.1 on linux
  • Extension version (available under the Extensions sidebar): 2018.6.0
  • OS and version: Windows 10 and Debian9
  • Python version (& distribution if applicable, e.g. Anaconda): 3.6 (on windows) and 3.5 (on linux)

Desired Behavior:

If I type 'import os \n os.dir' "Visual Studio Community 2017" shows very useful intellisense completions like "mkdir" or "makedirs".

Actual Behavior:

VSCode doesn't show any completions. It seems that in VSCode I always have to insert the first letter of a method to get appropriate suggestions: Only if I enter "os.m" I get suggestions for "mkdir" or "makedirs" (though after the initial letter I can enter any string so that "os.md" shows the suggestions I want).

This function makes a big difference in my workflow because I often forget the exact names of functions and only have a general idea about what the name contains.

Visual Studio is not an alternative because it's not cross-plattform.

I don't know how this behavior is called. maybe fuzzy completion? Please adjust the title of this thread.
