Research direction

Locate the definition and any references for the recommended-fields snippet used when editing .cabal files. Rename it consistently to recommended-fields-snippet, then verify that searching for and selecting it through completion exposes the intended .cabal fields.

Description

status: needs triage type: enhancement

When I start writing a .cabal file i often want to apply the recommended-fields snippet but i can never find it by typing snippet and trggering completions.

I would like the field to be renamed to recommended-fields-snippet, so it is more easy to find.
