Because the auto complete feature is triggered by pressing the return key, what happens is that even if I don’t want to use a snippet and just go to a new line, the snippet is triggered. For example, when I write an else block, I like to have the braces under the else keyword, unlike the snippet which puts them right after the keyword ( in the same line)

When I try to take it down one line (by pressing the enter key when the cursor is right before the opening brace), the else if snippet is triggered, when I didn't even need it.

I would like the snippets to be triggered only when I specifically tap them (or press return on a physical keyboard when the snippet is highlighted. This would greatly improve my coding speed
