Description
I have been using VS Code for three weeks now, and I still don't fully understand how its autocomplete works. Coming from JetBrains IDEs, I notice that VS Code's `IntelliSense` often ignores the surrounding context and suggests completely irrelevant items (e.g., random words like `caches` when I'm typing `ca` inside a switch statement).
I have already tried adjusting sorting options for snippets, keywords, and other available settings — none of them improved the situation. The suggestions remain noisy and context‑blind.
Is this intended behavior or a bug? Are there any plans to actually improve IntelliSense context autocomplete quality in the near future? Or is the current behavior deliberately limited to push users toward AI‑powered extensions?
