Allow disabling certain auto complete suggestions.

[irvinsci]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The @AuraEnabled auto complete does not fit all use cases. When it is used in the wrong use case, I end up having to battle my muscle memory to not use the auto complete to populate incorrect code for my use case.

Describe the solution you'd like
Remove this auto complete suggestion. Or otherwise expose all auto complete suggestions in a settings page that users can customize.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I am tempted to disable this extension everytime this happens.

Additional context

See that we use @AuraEnabled to describe variables

See how the @AuraEnabled auto complete always shows up in this case even when it is inappropriate

See how any accidental key stroke can populate multiple unwanted lines require multiple keystrokes to cleanup

Thank you @irvinsci for sending the feature request. We will let you know if we will implement the feature!

Hi @irvinsci,

Those standard Apex snippets come from the %user_profile%/.vscode/extensions/salesforce.salesforcedx-vscode-apex-##.##.#/snippets/apex.json snippet file. The file is editable and you probably can remove/modify the standard snippet(s) there, but those changes will be lost after the extension gets updated to the newer version...

As a workaround, with the VSCode: File > Preferences > Configure Snippets > New Global Snippets file..., you can create an apex.json user-defined snippet file for Apex language, and add the following two snippets there (on Windows, I have this in the %user_profile%/AppData/Roaming/Code/User/snippets/apex.json file):

{
	"@AuraEnabled annotation": {
		"prefix": "@AuraEnabled",
		"body": [
			"@AuraEnabled"
		],
		"description": "@AuraEnabled annotation only"
	},

	"@AuraEnabled variable": {
		"prefix": "@AuraEnabled variable",
		"body": [
			"@AuraEnabled",
			"public ${1:varType} ${0:varName};"
		],
		"description": "Basic @AuraEnabled class variable"
	},
}

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to allow overriding/shadowing the default Apex snippet for the @AuraEnabled prefix, but when we have a user-defined snippet that uses that same prefix text (or starts with that same prefix text), it will appear as a suggestion option - please mention the (User snippet) in the suggestion preview's title.

The @AuraEnabled variable snippet is just for the "completeness" of the annotation options, allowing to insert:

• the annotation only (user snippet),
• the annotated method (standard snippet),
• the annotated variable (user snippet).
