Research direction

Start by locating the ListView rendering that shows the completer source and compare it with the Inline completion display. The change is complete when Inline shows the source right-justified as [Source], using the same font as the completion, as described in the issue and mockup.

Description

Issue-Enhancement Not-Planned

Description of the new feature/enhancement

Listview shows the completer source as part of it's display, so you know if the completion is from history, azure, etc.

Inline should show the same using the same font as the completion and right justified as [Source] so that it's clear where the completion is coming from. This will be increasingly important as more extensions are added.
