Research direction

Start by reproducing the from Enum e and Macro m completion behavior in the VS Code CodeQL extension while keeping editor.wordBasedSuggestions enabled. Inspect the extension's autocomplete and suggestion configuration to identify whether these word-based entries can be filtered or disabled independently. Done means documenting or implementing a way to suppress these suggestions without disabling the broader setting.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

VSCode

Typing from Enum e causes the exists suggestion to popup. Other annoyances include Macro m causing max and min to appear as suggestions. How do I disable this without disabling editor.wordBasedSuggestions?
