live templates autocomplete icon

I have live template and when I write the alias in code, autocomplete show me the alias and value from another plugin and hard to recognize which autocomplete value is from live template.

Items in autocomplete have prefixes (methods, classes, variables). What about live templates?

Plugin developer should add prefix icon too, but I think this would be fine for live templates too (understand, icon for that should be hard to select .).

Hi there,

For me personally it's OK as it is now. I mean -- I'm managing it (maybe because I do not have that many live templates or they have very abbreviated names). But yes, having an icon would be helpful to have.

Feel free to file a Feature Request ticket at PhpStorm's Issue Tracker

P.S. In the meantime you can use shortcut for "Code | Insert Live Template..." action for live template completion only if you have quite a few live templates or they have similar names to the stuff from the code.

Hi Andriy, thanks for reply. Issue created https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WI-53483. Shortcut for Insert Live Template helped, but it is one more shortcut needed...
