Description

Hello,

Thanks for Quarto. It is amazing.

However, I am having an issue with the quarto extension in vscode.

I am using R blocks in vscode running on Debian 12. I am also using "R Editor Support" extension. The issue is that I cannot trigger the best completion for R. For example, the completion for .rmd files or for .r files are much better than those for .qmd files.

In this sense, I am practically forced to associate my .qmd files with r markdown (.rmd) to get proper auto completion.

Thanks again.

Research direction

No source file or test is named. Start by reproducing the completion behavior in VS Code for R blocks in a .qmd file, then compare it with .rmd and .r files using the R Editor Support extension. Done means R blocks in .qmd files receive the expected R completion behavior without associating the file with R Markdown.
