Visual studio code auto completion when typing in {

Question

I'm using Visual studio code to edit .ts files but whenever I type in { it shows a whole list of suggestions like below. When hitting enter, word 'abstract' will be inserted into the cursor location.

What I'd expect is when typing in {, the other part of the brace, }, will be inserted into the editor as well automatically. This is what happens when typing in ( and [, but the behavior is just different when inputting {.

Also given { is a frequently used character, so this bugs me much. Not sure if this is configurable or not. Please shed some light on it.

triggers auto completion suggestions

Sorry guys, it turned out to be a problem of 'Vim' extension I installed. That is a vi simulator which makes the usage of editor the same as vi. Once I uninstalled vim extension the issue has gone. I'll see if that is a known issue of vim extension or not. — kitlenv
