Enhancement: close half-open braces, use the snippet system to smartly place the point

[Lucretiel]

Suppose I'm creating a new rust struct, with some derive attributes at the top. I type:

#

And TabNine suggests [derive(Clone, .

This is a good suggestion, but I'm very much used to my editor automatically closing my braces. What I'm suggesting, therefore, is that the following flow occur (█ indicates the suggestion/location of the point; I'm not sure how to indicate this in the UI. Perhaps a highlighted character?)

• TabNine suggests [derive(Clone, █)]
• I accept the suggestion. My text buffer is now:

#[derive(Clone, █)]

• I have the ability to add more attributes, aided by TabNine.
• The next time I hit <tab>, outside of a completion context, it advances the point outside the next brace. It does this continuously until I'm fully outside the braces:

// <tab>
#[derive(Clone, Default)█]

// <tab>
#[derive(Clone, Default)]█

This can probably be implemented "dumbly", that is, it can use simple syntax analysis that examines the output of TabNine's suggestion, and simply closes all detected half-open braces.

Closing of half-open braces has been added. Snippet support is still pending. (Supporting the workflow you describe requires a rethinking of the current interface, since pressing tab after a completion currently selects the next completion.)

Yeah, I was thinking about that, too. You'd have to do some extra typing to get out of the tabnine context. Still, glad to hear that brace closing works!
