Interface CompletionProviderOptions

interface CompletionProviderOptions {
    allCommitCharacters?: string[];
    triggerCharacters?: string[];
}

Properties

allCommitCharacters?: string[]

The list of all possible characters that commit a completion. This field can be used if clients don't support individual commit characters per completion item.

If a server provides both allCommitCharacters and commit characters on an individual completion item the ones on the completion item win.

triggerCharacters?: string[]

Most tools trigger completion request automatically without explicitly requesting it using a keyboard shortcut (e.g. Ctrl+Space). Typically they do so when the user starts to type an identifier. For example if the user types c in a JavaScript file code complete will automatically pop up present console besides others as a completion item. Characters that make up identifiers don't need to be listed here.

If code complete should automatically be trigger on characters not being valid inside an identifier (for example . in JavaScript) list them in triggerCharacters.
