Can't easily type a colon at the end of a line

[loic-joly-sonarsource]

Description

When typing a colon, a completion list is displayed. When I want a colon att he end of a line, I usually press : then return, which types the first item of the completion list instead.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the issue:

1. Type some text, for instance Test
2. Type a colon :
3. Type return

Expected output:

Test:

Actual output:

Test:app-name: any

Typing a colon in the middle of a line is ok, because pressing space closes the completion list.

Hey!

The main issue is that :app-name: is declared as a snippet and, as a result, I think that : becomes a trigger character: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/intellisense#_intellisense-features in:

asciidoctor-vscode/snippets/snippets.json

Lines 441 to 445 in e152562

	"Insert app-name": {
	"prefix": ":app-name:",
	"body": ":app-name: ${1:any}",
	"description": "Adds application-name meta element for mobile devices inside HTML document head."
	},

This is probably a bad idea and we should instead declare a CompletionItemProvider where we could return all built-in attributes only if : was typed at the start of a line.

As a workaround, you can edit your settings.json and add:

"editor.suggestOnTriggerCharacters": false

Suggestion won't be triggered by : anymore (or any other characters). You will have to use <Ctrl> + <Space> to trigger suggestions.

Another workaround is to configure:

"editor.acceptSuggestionOnEnter": "off",

<Enter> won't accept the suggestion anymore, you will have to use <Tab> to accept a suggestion.
