Visual Studio Code intellisense showing one suggestion at any time

Normally when I used to type in my VSCode editor, the intellisense showed all the possible suggestions for the entered query.

However, now as I type, only one suggestion is shown that best matches the query.

For instance, when I type in b, the intellisense just shows a suggestion for the HTML <b> element — not a list of suggestions including tags such as <button>.

Is there any way to change this? I have searched a lot of the net but couldn't find any sort of help.

Solution 1:

VS Code 1.51 made the list of suggestions resizable so it's possible your suggest widget is simply shrunken down to be a single line high.

To fix this, trigger suggestions and then click and drag at the bottom edge of the suggest widget to increase the number of visible suggestions.

Note that you can always use the arrow keys to navigate through suggestions, even if only one suggestion is visible. Use this to check if the widget is simply too small or if there really is only one suggestion

Solution 2:

I wasted time on this too... (bummed)

Solution:

• Open: Command Palette
• Type: ">Reset Suggest Widget Size"
• Select: 'click' or [ENTER]

Opinion:

Wish I saw Matt Bierner's answer sooner. (The suggestion window can be resized by dragging its borders with your cursor.)
