I am new to the Positron IDE and I'd like to automatically insert parentheses () when coding in Python. For example, when I type len and hit Enter to confirm, it does not automatically insert parentheses ().
After searching online, it seems that in VS Code, there is a setting:
"python.analysis.completeFunctionParens": true
However, this is not supported in the Positron IDE. I wonder how to achieve this feature?
Sadly, this feature is not yet available in the Positron IDE.
But I have found this helpful extension called Python Snippets 3 (Pro), which when installed gives you an option of common python function which parentheses + parameters:
the autocomplete options include print with brackets and extra parameters too.
len autocompletes to
len(object)
int autocompletes to
int("")
And many more.
Hope this helps!

You can Creating custom snippets for your most commonly used functions
Go to File → Preferences → Configure User Snippets
Select Python
Add snippets like:
{
"len with parentheses": {
"prefix": "len",
"body": "len($0)",
"description": "len() function with parentheses"
}
}
