When running the declare property... quick fix on boop in the below code, TS auto-inserts boop: any;, but I'd really prefer for it to be private boop: number or something, if my cursor moved to the insert location or I was prompted for the access level and type or something that'd be nice:

class A {
  constructor() {
    console.log(this.boop);
  }
}

Research direction
Investigate the TypeScript language service's code action provider for the 'declare property' quick fix. The relevant code is likely in the language service area handling class property insertion. The goal is to move the cursor to the newly inserted property after the action. Look at existing quick fixes that reposition the cursor for similar patterns.
