VSCode's intellisense doesn't work after intellisense's auto-highlighting

Viewed 302

After using intellisense to auto-complete some code, it often highlights some argument place holder text/value. But while its highlighted, the intellisense stops working. I have to click the esc key to get out the highlighting to continue using intellisense. (if any of you use the macbook with the touch bar, you know how much effort it is to press the esc key )

enter image description here The highlighting might be hard to see, but its there the whole time I am typing "con"

Anyone know how get intellisense working without turning off the auto-highlighting feature? (also anyone know the official/unofficial name of the highlighting feature?)

The issue was in VS Codes languages settings for Dart. Changing the snippetsPreventQuickSuggestions setting to false will solve the issue.

can be global...

{
    "editor.suggest.snippetsPreventQuickSuggestions": false,
}

or language specific...

"[dart]": {
    "editor.suggest.snippetsPreventQuickSuggestions": false,
},
