`ignored_snippets` doesn't ignore `*.sublime-completions`

[randy3k]

Description

As title: ignored_snippets doesn't ignore *.sublime-completions

Steps to reproduce

1. set ignored_snippets to ["C++/*"]
2. Open an empty file, set the C syntax
3. Type #include <std
4. The snippets for stdio.h etc are shown. These snippets are defined in C++/C Standard Includes.sublime-completions.

Expected behavior

ignored_snippets should also ignore *.sublime-completions.

Actual behavior

ignored_snippets does not ignore *.sublime-completions.

Environment

• Build: 4058
• Operating system and version: macOS 10.15

If it is a intended behaviour, I suggest added one more setting to ignore the sublime-completions files

Ya, #901 is a bit more general.

I would not expect ignoring snippets to ignore completions, as they are fundamentally a bit different, and used for different things.

I'd be curious to see reactions for other users to see if this is a common requests.

For now, since there is usually only a single completion file, you can create an empty override.

While completions are different from snippets, it is confusing to see that these completions are marked as snippets.

I could imagine ST will offer an opportunity to specify the kind of a completion some day. Maybe by adding additional keys to the sublime-completions file.

{"trigger": "label()\tfunction", "kind": "function", "description": "blabla"," "contents": "label($1)"},

The main question is just how to organize the kind information without needing to repeat them in each entry.

[wbond]

Yes, I do have the intention of adding kind info to completions. I have not yet spent time to think about how to augment the format for it yet.

In ST4073+ .sublime-completions can now supply kind, annotation and details.
