Description
This is a feature request to make the completion trigger character take effect conditionally.
Considering the following Java code:
String s = new |
When user enter the space, it would be helpful to show a completion list. This behavior can be observed in other IDEs:
But simply adding space to the trigger characters could be a problem because not every space needs to follow a completion action.
Is it possible to make it conditional? For example, only taking effect when there is a "new" before space.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the completion-trigger behavior described in the issue and the Java example, then determine how conditional triggering should be represented in the protocol. Done means the specification clearly defines when a space triggers completion, such as after new, without triggering completion for every space.
