VS Code: how to enable word based textual completions in typst files?

[MHellmund]

I have

    "[latex]": {   "editor.wordBasedSuggestions": true },

in my VS code settings and it works great. Really speeds up my writing. But

 "[typst]": { "editor.wordBasedSuggestions": true },

(or with "[typst-lsp]" ) does not work. Any ideas?

I'm not sure why this doesn't work as expected, but "[typst]" is the right key to use, not "[typst-lsp]".

Hm, I have only only one more observation. When I search in vs code settings for wordBasedSuggestions, then some installed language extensions are listed:

Typst is not in the list. Perhaps the extension needs to register something?

It is a really useful feature if you do not write packages/templates but documents.

It seems that the word based completions is enabled in scripting sections rather than content sections of a document.

I guess this is related: microsoft/vscode#21611

As suggested there, additional extensions like https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Atishay-Jain.All-Autocomplete or https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=RahulSinha.hippie-completion allow word based completion in the content part of a typst file.
