2 months ago When you accept an autocompletion result, whether you press Tab or Enter will lead to different outcomes as described in https://github.com/godotengine/godot-proposals/issues/9528. Can you try both in your particular scenario?

Describe the project you are working on
Doesn't matter)
Describe the problem or limitation you are having in your project
It often happens to me that I rewrite a function for example "var gen = ClassGen.generated_text("bla bla")", but the ClassGen class has three more similar functions for example generated_text_simple and generated_image, I start erasing all the text, leaving parentheses and argument, then I add a dot so that a hint appears, I select the function and get additional empty parentheses “var gen = ClassGen.generated_text_simple()(“bla bla”)”, which is very annoying.
Describe the feature / enhancement and how it helps to overcome the problem or limitation
I propose to do this - so that when we select a function from the tooltips, the code editor reads all the characters on the right, before the tab, and if a parenthesis is not found there, it would add two parentheses, otherwise, if a parenthesis is found, it would not add two brackets.
It would also be convenient to see hints not only when we add a period at the end, but also when we erase the text or write a new one, but this is a different sentence.
Describe how your proposal will work, with code, pseudo-code, mock-ups, and/or diagrams
read the characters on the right after selecting a function
If this enhancement will not be used often, can it be worked around with a few lines of script?
No
Is there a reason why this should be core and not an add-on in the asset library?
No
