Is there a way not to have to press enter twice with autocompletion when you just type the whole keyword? For example, here I have to press Enter twice after typing `end`:

![enter-twice](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/julialang/original/3X/d/c/dc0da17a76c6ed123e07034b121f9d95f0190d5e.png)

In practical terms: deactivate autocomplete when the identifier being entered matches the only autocomplete suggestion.

I’d suggest setting `Accept Suggestion On Enter` to `off`:

This is a good practical solution. Can the behavior itself be addressed or is it beyond the scope of Julia extension for VSCode?

I don’t think the Julia extension has any control over this, no.
