VSCode: normal word completion

Edit: from vscode 1.51 it should be possible:

"editor.wordBasedSuggestionsMode": "currentDocument" | "matchingDocuments" | "allDocuments"

---

It is possible now with the extension: All Autocomplete.

It auto-completes based on words in all opened files.

It has been years, I believe now VSCode (1.52.1) has supported Ctrl+p / Ctrl+n for word autocompletion if you have Vim extenstion installed and enabled.

However, it still requires Ctrl+space to trigger the autocompltion popup then you can use Ctrl+p / Ctrl+n to go next or prev

If you dislike to press Ctrl+space, I found adding following in the keybindings.json could help and behave the same as Vim.

    {
        "key": "ctrl+p",
        "command": "editor.action.triggerSuggest",
        "when": "editorHasCompletionItemProvider && !suggestWidgetVisible && textInputFocus && !editorReadonly"
    },
    {
        "key": "ctrl+n",
        "command": "editor.action.triggerSuggest",
        "when": "editorHasCompletionItemProvider && !suggestWidgetVisible && textInputFocus && !editorReadonly"
    },

Hope you like this.
