I can't seem to find if there's a way to do it.
I use VScode for writing markdown text. I love the intellisense/autocomplete which builds my word lists and helps me write faster. The one thing I wish I could change is for the autocomplete word lists to show up AFTER I've typed a certain number of characters.
For e.g., let's say I really want the word "guarding"
I'd like the popup only after I've typed guar rather than at g, and then u, etc. This way, I'm utilizing it only for longer words. The popup for every letter from the beginning is kind of annoying.
Is there a way to do it? (I seem to be able to control the delay when to popup,

Suggestions are very useful, but sometimes they're annoying.
I want to hide suggestions when what I typed is a known word in the language or in the current document.
E.g.: Since I used the word elapsed in a document, every single else I typed after it selected elapsed. Very annoying. Since else is a known word, I want the suggestions disappear, so when I hit ENTER the final word is that what I typed. This is a case; there are a lot of cases.
Other editors hide suggestions on known words (e.g.: Kate).
Tuning "editor.quickSuggestionsDelay" doesn't help, because frequently I stop to think and suggestions will appear anyway.
"editor.acceptSuggestionOnEnter": false doesn't help too; I've tried it but I'm not productive using TAB instead of ENTER.
I also tried "editor.wordBasedSuggestions": false, but this is not what I want. It hides every known word, but I want to select known words if I didn't type one.
I would like an option like "editor.hideSuggestionsOnKnownWord": true, but I could not find nothing similar in vscode.
Is there an option or an extension to do that?
Is there a way to create a "blacklist" of words or phrases that get ignored by vscode intellisense?
Right now I get an autocomplete suggestion every time I type error, which results in a small code block that I do not want, as I only want the word error itself.
I'm not looking to disable intellisense entirely, only on this one instance of a particular phrase, and was wondering if it's possible to do that.
When using "change all occurences" in VS Code, it will just search the whole file for matches and change them. Is there a similar feature doing the same thing, but limiting it to function or block scope?
Let's take an example where I would need that: I'm having a React file with several components and want to refactor a class component to a functional component, so I'm changing all occurences of this.props to props. However, I obviously don't want to change all the other class components as well that are supposed to stay class components. :-)
This seems like such a standard use case, but I'm not able to find it anywhere in VS Code. If it's not possible (yet, or for some good reasons) is there another way to achieve what I'm trying to do?
Check out the 'Add Selection To Next Find Match' functionality. It allows you to highlight the first occurrence you'd like to change, then using a keyboard shortcut, highlight the next occurrence and so on until you've selected all the instances you want to change. When all to-be-changed occurrences are selected, you can edit the selected text normally. Just remember to hit the escape key a couple times after editing to return to a single cursor!
Here are the keybindings for the command, it's Cmd+d on Mac:
https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/keybindings
I find it very useful when renaming variables, there's also a shortcut to skip occurrences (Cmd+k Cmd+d) in case there is text you don't want to change in between.
I have been working in Notepad++ recently, and last night, spent at least an hour manually selecting many of the same phrase with Ctrl+Select. I needed to select all occurrences of 'yyty' (Just a phrase so I could easily find it), but could not see or find a quick way to do that. I ended up just using the Ctr+Select method, but when doing this 80 times, it gets quite annoying. I need something that will allow me to select a word, then have all matching words become selected (NOT highlighted or marked, as I need to be able to run the column editor tool on the selection to auto-number all of the selections) automatically (by automatically, I mean after clicking something to run the auto-selector). I am willing to install a plugin for NP++ if needed.
I have text files which contain code inside an Editor. The user can run an analysis on a certain part of his code, which will result in a set of lines which should be hidden. Next I want to present the user with only the remaining lines, but with correct linenumbers, as from the original document. Possible solutions I thought of:
Open a new Editor which does not contain the hidden lines, but *somehow* still has correct line numbers
Hide the lines in the original editor, and offer a button for the user to 'unhide'. Probably a similar solution required as in 1.
I don't really know how to go about this. Folds would be a weird solution, because they can be unfolded individually, and seem to be more semantically tied to things like methods or classes. Also, simply creating a new document without the hidden lines results in wrong linenumbers.
Use a ProjectionViewer and reflection to invoke the private method ProjectionViewer.collapse(int offset int length). This method is only used internally to hide a certain portion of the text, by manipulating the ProjectionDocument (see http://eclipse.org/articles/Article-Folding-in-Eclipse-Text-Editors/folding.html).
After this, folding text in the editor using the annotations(the little +/- icons) WILL break everything, so this solution and regular folding are mutually exclusive.
