context key "atEndOfWord" is always false

[md-base-t]

Type: Bug

When I open a code editor in VSCode and place the text cursor at the end of any word, the context key atEndOfWord remains false, it stays false at every cursor position. I use this context key in the "when" keys of the "keybindings.json" and it has always worked without any problems.

I think that the state of atEndOfWord is always false since version 1.85 or 1.85.1.

@md-base-t This context key is only available when having editor.tabCompletion set to on. Can you check that's the case for you?

[md-base-t]

@jrieken Thanks for your investigation! Indeed atEndOfWord is also in my VSCode installation available if editor.tabCompletion is on. I had it changed to off because I need the TAB key in VSCode editors (on language mode plaintext) to insert indentation (and with editor.tabCompletion = on I am often surprised if then is inserted a suggestion).

It is a possible enhancement request to make atEndOfWord context key always available, independent of editor.tabCompletion setting?

I'd second that request. It makes absolutely no sense to have it dependent on editor.tabCompletion setting.
