Autocomplete spacing between Module and type (e.g. struct/behaviour)

[benvp]

I noticed that when having autocomplete of modules that there is no space between the actual module name and the type of it (e.g. struct or behaviour).

I'd expect at least there to be a space or some margin so that this can be distinguished more easily. Happy to create a PR if you could guide me in some direction where I'd start this.

(I am not entirely sure if it's vscode or core elixir ls, bur to me it seems that this would fall into the vscode plugin.)

This is how VSCode renders the detail property on LSP CompletionItem. The relevant code is in https://github.com/elixir-lsp/elixir-ls/blob/2cd117272135f400822200c2c6856e43f6c0017e/apps/language_server/lib/language_server/providers/completion.ex#L537. We could workaround it by prepending spaces if the client is VSCode or report an issue to VSCode repo

I was assuming something like this. What's your stance on that? Would you mind rendering spaces in the VSCode case? Even it feels kinda hacky I'd think it would improve the readability a lot.

I'm OK with doing workarounds for major client. So far we don't check it anywhere but clientInfo from InitializeParams can be used for client checking. I wonder if VSCodium has different info than VSCode there. But let's raise a ticket upstream anyway
