UX feature request: do not autocomplete unless something has been typed. #601

Closed WannabeSmith closed 2 years ago

OS/editor details:

OS: macOS Monterey 12.3.1 Editor: Emacs 28.1 LaTeX: TeX Live 2022 texlab version: 3.3.2

Description of the issue:

Suppose I wish to start writing a new section in a tex document. If I type \section{New Section} and then hit enter, my cursor doesn't go to the next line. Instead, I will receive an autocompleted \item, but I am not even in an itemize/enumerate environment.

Similarly, every time a space is typed, an autocomplete list will appear with \item as the top choice.

The desired behavior would be to never see an autocompleted list unless a character has been typed.

See the following screen capture that demonstrates this behavior.

This, too, is controlled by your LSP client (Emacs in this case), not the server!

You're right, this doesn't seem to happen in VSCode either. Thanks!
