(This idea was originally posted in the repo for the python extension as issue 2097, reposted here on advice of MikhailArkhipov. This is reworded and extended with screenshots)

Intellisense completions in VSCode are only shown after typing the first letter of a method. But I don't always remember this - I often only remember some other parts of a name.

Example: If I type

import os 
os.dir

I would like to get "mkdir" or "makedirs" as a suggestion. This works as expected in VS Community2017 (or other IDEs like pycharm):

In VSCode 1.25.0 (with python extension 2018.06) I only get this:

Only if I enter "os.m" I get suggestions for "mkdir" or "makedirs". It's nice that after the initial letter I can enter any string so that "os.md" shows the suggestions I want but I don't always remember the first letter of a method. I think I'm not the only one with this problem.

This not only affects the module os but is a general problem.

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