I'm trying to get the ACE editor to show auto suggestions for BDD (Gherkin) based stories. Assuming that I have a way to generate a list of snippets in the form
snippet Given a certain precondition with a parameter $aParam is fullfilled
Given a certain precondition with a parameter ${1:aParam} is fullfilled
I do get a nice list of auto suggestions when entering one of words of the first line, however, spaces do stop the auto completion and it restarts with the next word.
Is there a way to get the autocompletion to consider the entire line, except just one word at a time?

I'm using visual studio code and run into a weird problem. I'm not sure how I got here - I could have accidently pressed a shortcut unknowingly.
I'm trying to select a phrase, link or anything that crosses multiple lines (whether the lines are true lines or due to word wrap). When I select multiple lines, it doesn't automatically select the text at the start and end between the two points. Rather, it just selects the length of text for that line and repeats it in the subsequent lines. See the image below to understand.

As you can see, I am trying to select the words from "the" to the end of "sub". Instead of selecting all the words between the two, it selects the text "the instru" and selects every line with the same amount of characters/length.
In order to show what I am expecting, I have pasted the text into Notepad and done the same thing.
What I am expecting
As you can see, all the words between "the" and "sub" are selected.
If anyone has any idea about how to fix this, I would be greatly appreciative.
Below is a copy of the text if the images don't display.
Follow the instructions below for a click guide to retire and/or add 'School'.
Best practice if there is a change in 'School' structure would be to 'retire' any existing school setup that is no longer required and add the new sub school information. The reason why we don't just edit existing school names (typically) is due to leaving historical data intact.

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.
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,
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 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.
