Description

Hi!

In Julia 1.11.5, the following works:

julia> @kwdef struct Test
           first = 2
           second = 3
       end
Test

julia> Test(; fi<TAB>
julia> Test(; first=

i.e., if you press TAB it correctly auto-completes the field name.

In Julia 1.11.6, on the other hand, we have:

julia> @kwdef struct Test
           first = 2
           second = 3
       end
Test

julia> Test(; fi<TAB>
fieldcount   fieldname    fieldnames   fieldoffset  fieldtype    fieldtypes
filemode     filesize     fill         fill!        filter       filter!
finalize     finalizer    finally      findall      findfirst    findlast
findmax      findmax!     findmin      findmin!     findnext     findprev
first        firstindex

I am pretty sure that the correct behavior should be the first one.
