Automatic fill-in suggestions appear as actual text and need to delete in order to type attributes

The Missed*

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please provide a clear and concise description of what the problem is.

• When there are automatic fill-in suggestions, the suggestions appear as actual text in the editor. For example, for \uncover{text}, if we edit, we have to manually delete the text "overlay specification" as it is actual text in the editor, as opposed to just a visual hint.

The Solution*

Please provide a solution you would like to have.

• Once we start typing, it should automatically know we are inputting text that is supposed to take its place. The fill-in suggestions should be visual hints, not actual text in our code. For example, in Gmail there is a "Subject" in the subject line, but it not actually text there. When you start typing in the subject line, the "Subject" disappears automatically.

Anything Else?

Add any other context about the feature request below.

• Thanks!

In \uncover<overlay specification>{text}, both text and overlay specification are placeholders (see https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/userdefinedsnippets). Once, you have the first text, type TAB to jump to overlay specification, which will be replaced as soon as you start typing.
