Even though `if` is easy to type, you +still want to complete it, to get ` { }` for free! `return` is inserted with a +space or `;` depending on the return type of the function. + +When completing a function call, `()` are automatically inserted. If function +takes arguments, cursor is positioned inside the parenthesis. + +There are postifx completions, which can be triggerd by typing something like +`foo().if`. The word after `.` determines postifx completion, possible variants are: + +- `expr.if` -> `if expr {}` +- `expr.match` -> `match expr {}` +- `expr.while` -> `while expr {}` +- `expr.ref` -> `&expr` +- `expr.refm` -> `&mut expr` +- `expr.not` -> `!expr` +- `expr.dbg` -> `dbg!(expr)` + +There also snippet completions: + +#### Inside Expressions + +- `pd` -> `println!("{:?}")` +- `ppd` -> `println!("{:#?}")` + +#### Inside Modules + +- `tfn` -> `#[test] fn f(){}` + -- cgit v1.2.3
