Inline suggestions aren't multicursor aware

[jrieken]

• enable inline suggest via editor.quickSuggestions and inline
• have multiple cursors and type con
• accept the inline completion
• only the primary cursor is completed

I confirm this behavior, as you can see from the following screenshots.

The workaround I use for now is press Ctrl + Space and select suggested variant by Tab/Enter, but selecting it just by Tab would be a lot better of course.

Hello, team~ I'd like to fix this issue, but I'm not sure if there's any case the completion item would be so complicated that we need to calculate how many characters we should overwrite before each cursor. Or I guess we can insert ghost text for any existing cursor as an intuitive fix?

@Semesse unfortunately the code is not very straight forward.

I guess that showing the ghost text only at the first cursor as it is now (i.e. not at all cursors) is not ideal but quite OK, while the priority is accepting the suggestion at all cursors?

[riskoviv]

@Tomaqa, yes, you're right. Showing the ghost text is not so important, main issue is lack of inserting of suggested text to positions of all cursors.

We have this for a while now 🥳 #205562
