So when I create a class for example in visual studio code, I can do it all manual and then code completion works just fine see image below:

enter image description here So in the image above I have typed all the code so far by hand NOT using any snippets.

But in the image below I created the class using a snipped see image below: enter image description here But When I fill in the required fields from the snippet code completion is not working. See image below:
enter image description here

So my question really is how do I get code completion / suggestions to work inside of the fields of a snippet? Or is this not possible in vscode?

If any clarification or extra information is needed let me know so I can add it!

  • The highlighted text is only for typing the name of the class, when done, press [TAB] and the text won't be highlighted anymore you can come back to add inheritance | interfaces Commented Sep 6, 2019 at 20:01

Try changing this setting to false:

Editor › Suggest: Snippets Prevent Quick Suggestions

Control whether an active snippet prevents quick suggestions.

"editor.suggest.snippetsPreventQuickSuggestions": false

true is the default, sounds like you want false.

This is a bad default, I literally thought this was a bug and was searching for the issue on github to support! Thanks for this awesome Q&A to both of you.
