I know there is auto completion in the julia vs code extensions. My surggestion is this when on a code line that starts with `for` or `if` and so on then when enter button is pressed at the end of that line then a end statement appears on the next line. This would make so you dont have to think about pressing enter for the auto completion.

If there already exist such a tool I would love to know about it.

not exactly the “close it with enter”, but it it works:

> I find myself manually typing ‘end’ several lines down from a function header, then moving the cursor back into the function body to create the function. Is it possible to configure VSCode to do this automatically whenever I write ‘function’, ‘begin’, etc…?
