How do I make VScode not make a new line?

The solution to the enter problem:

Go to the setting. Type "enter" in the search and turn off "Accept Suggestion On Enter".

That is an interesting problem. Because of the general scope of the problem, I don't know how helpful it would be, but with snippets, you can control where the cursor lands.

EDIT: I use snippets to avoid VSCode's auto-completion suggestions when writing Jest tests in TypeScript.

I looked into snippets they explain how to work with prefixes at the end they have something about keybinding. But I need somehow to explain vscode that when I hit enter key inside curly braces open them in a certain way. It's a hard.

As I understand putting the cursor in a certain place is an easy part.

I've been having this issue too and haven't gotten around to solving it so I'll be following this thread closely. For now I just use shift+enter instead which is honestly pretty annoying.

I have made an update, because I found the solution. I have a question though: When I made an update did you receive a notification?

[Matt Moore]

Nope! I only got notified from this reply.

I do the same thing with shift+enter.
