I wasn't clear about this, but in my experience with Visual Studio back in the day, IntelliSense only operates off of defined symbols (function names, class names, variables, etc). Whereas text editors such as TextMate and Sublime don't seem to "understand" the code as much, so instead they just autocomplete based on all word they find in the open project or Windows. But I actually prefer this more loosy-goosy style of autocomplete, so was just wondering if this new Visual Studio works that way (since it seems to be geared more towards dynamic languages such as javascript than VS was in the past).



In a dynamic language like javascript, yes VS Code works exactly like this.
