Why CompletionItemProvider not work when enter charactor?

I have uploaded my code at https://github.com/Hfutsora/monaco-kaco.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open github page https://hfutsora.github.io/monaco-kaco/
  2. Enter char 'O' at the endline then you can get suggestion
    provide suggestions
  3. Enter char 'O' before the endline there are no suggestions appeared
    none suggestion
Solution

  • I think the problem is that VS Code filters out your candidates because it gets the wrong already typed characters. In my completion providers I use a different method:

    const info = model.getWordUntilPosition(position);

    which finds the word before the current caret position.
