Hi! I just published the extension on [Open VSX Registry](https://open-vsx.org/extension/medienbaecker/kirby-snippets).

Just curious: what’s stopping you from using the “Download Extension” link in the Marketplace?

Hi, thanks for publishing your extension also on [open vsx registry](https://open-vsx.org/extension/medienbaecker/kirby-snippets)! What “stopped” me was me thinking, that extensions could only be installed by directly using the site and no option of installing lokal packages. And: I didn’t see the option for a lokal download, too much visual clutter. Learning to use the editor, learning php and kirby and sitting in front of the screen for too many hours eats concentration. Thanks for your extra effort.

@thguenther hey there, thank you so much for this crazy good plugin.

i have one problem though… when i start typing something like `$page->par` i don’t see the list of kirby autocomplete options.

however, when i remove everything up until the arrow _(with alt + backspace on a mac)_, and then start typing the same characters again, i do see the list of kirby autocomplete options.

 ![Screenshot 2023-04-16 at 18.23.10](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex017/uploads/getkirby/original/2X/9/900b01622b1db391a400962dff7bb29f58d661d0.png)

but for me it only works when i use this trick, not out of the box. any ideas why?

thank you so much for your help!

I can’t reproduce that — I always see the suggestions 🤔

hm. really strange. i am new to vs code. already tried disabling my other extensions + removing my custom settings + restarting the software. no luck.

i am on `v1.77.3` on a mac. @thguenther are you too? any ideas where this might be coming from?

thank you so much for looking into that.

Yes, I’m also using 1.77.3 on macOS. I had a look at the settings I modified and found this one:

 ![CleanShot 2023-04-17 at 10.07.04@2x](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex017/uploads/getkirby/original/2X/b/b5150b7f2c30741dcbe31a12f3b6f8c99da56d3b.png)

(PHP → Suggest: Basic is set to off)

Maybe the built-in PHP suggestions are overwriting the snippets? 🤔

FYI: I’ve just updated the extension to include the Kirby 4 changes. Let me know if I messed something up.
