Beschreibung
Try opening this minimal demo project https://github.com/mcclure/ts-hello-bug/tree/editor-demo in Sublime Text, and opening the file 'src/index.tsx'. index.tsx imports a function demoFunction() from 'dependencyOne.ts' and calls it. If I move the cursor over the let x in 'index.tsx', it says:
let x : DemoClass, Line 3, Column 5
Here is a problem: what is DemoClass? I didn't import any such class. If I try to say let x : DemoClass = demoFunction(), I will get error TS2304: Cannot find name 'DemoClass'., because I didn't import it. (Since I wrote the demo project myself, I know the answer: 'dependencyOne.ts' imported it from 'dependencyTwo.ts'. But let's say I don't know that.)
If I cmd-P and look at the features of the TypeScript plugin, I see it exposes a useful function: "GoTo Type Definition". If I select this option, it takes me to class DemoClass in 'dependencyTwo.ts'. Awesome, problem solved! I need to import { DemoClass } from "./dependencyTwo"`.
But consider a slightly more complicated example: What if DemoClass had been imported from a library? In this case the existing tools are less helpful. Try out this other demo project https://github.com/mcclure/ts-hello/tree/stable which is also minimal, but this one has Preact in package.json. Try npm installing, then opening 'src/index.tsx' and adding the line:
let test = <div>Test</div>
If I mouse over test it says "let test : h.JSX.Element". This is a little odder. If I "GoTo Type Definition" this, I get:
interface Element extends preact.VNode<any> {}
inside namespace JSXInternal, in jsx.d.ts. That's not actionable the way finding 'dependencyTwo.ts' was. What I want to do here, probably, is import { JSX } from "preact"; and then use the type JSX.Element. But I wouldn't figure this out by using the Sublime plugin.
I'm not sure these are the best examples. But this is a situation I did find myself in twice this weekend: There is a symbol or value I have access to by writing code. The Sublime plugin can successfully infer its type. I want to assign the value to a variable, and I want to write a type signature for that variable. But the type is not in scope, I have no idea what to import to get it in scope, and the plugin can't help me because the type is something deep inside a spaghetti of import exports in 'node_modules'.
Expected behavior/suggestion: In both the cases above, I think the plugin could have figured out the correct import line and suggested it to me. In the first case, it could have followed the import from './dependencyTwo' and detected I can import './dependencyTwo' also. In the second case, it could have noticed the JSXInternal namespace that h import exports is also import exported by the "preact" node_module (which I am already importing other symbols from) and suggested that.
(The second example might be a harder case because it would require the plugin to speculate about different ways JSXInternal could get into scope; but possibly if there are several sensible "import" routes, the plugin could show a list. Also I think the plugin has this speculation logic already, because if I type let test : JSX.Element without importing JSX, then use the mysterious "TypeScript: Request Code Fixes" feature of the plugin, it magically adds , JSX to my "import JSX" line up top (!))
I am using v3.7.3 to test.

Rechercherichtung
Reproduziere die beiden Demos in src/index.tsx, einschließlich des Falls mit den lokalen Abhängigkeiten dependencyOne.ts/dependencyTwo.ts und des in jsx.d.ts beschriebenen Preact-Falls. Vergleiche GoTo Type Definition mit TypeScript: Request Code Fixes und definiere als abgeschlossen, dass verwendbare Imports sowohl für lokale Typen als auch für über ein Paket bereitgestellte Typen vorgeschlagen werden.
