Snippet quick suggestion is not working

[Jmsljw]

Type: Bug

1. setup a "short" custom snippet, eg: "clg" for console.log()
2. make sure autopilot's auto complete is on
3. Open any JS file that already contain written codes. It only failed on the non-empty file
4. type "clg" on any line, and wait for "suggestion" to show up

Expectation:

• it used to popup a quick suggestion (intellisense) with snippets

Problem:

• but the AI's autocomplete is overriding the "quick suggestion", and the AI suggestion is not even correct. Instead of showing the "console.log()" it suggested "clg('')"

@Jmsljw Could you please try updating these settings:

"editor.quickSuggestions": {
	"other": "on", 
	"comments": "off",
	"strings": "off"
}

The default for other has been updated to offWhenInlineCompletions which may impact snippets.
Setting the above settings will bring it back to old defaults and hopefully address your concern.

That option works for me on the individual project level where i have .vscode/settings.json file. Do you know how to make that setting global in VSCode? I tried to paste that JSON as is to "Preferences: Open Application Settings(JSON)" but that didn't work.

@dmitrivMS It works! You save my day, thank you.

@m-morozov-kw You might have a non-default profile activated.

This setting cannot be applied while a non-default profile is active. It will be applied when the default profile is active.

You have to either change it in "Preferences: Open User Settings (JSON)" or switch back to your default settings.
