Description

I would like to be able to autocomplete a function name (in C++) without also getting the templates and argument list.

Steps to Reproduce

1. define a function void foo_function(int x, double y) { return x; }
2. from somewhere else type foo_f
3. See foo_function(int x, double y) as a suggestion
4. Choose it

Expected behavior: unction is inserted

Actual behavior: unction(int x, double y) is inserted

This is especially annoying when I'm renaming a function.

Versions

atom 1.16.0 autocomplete-plus 2.34.2

Additional Information

I would like a checkbox in the preferences to control this behavior, please

I agree. It's extremely common in JavaScript to reference functions without calling them. In this case, filling in the arguments is a waste of time because you have to delete what autocomplete generates.

In general, I find typing out arguments myself to be much faster than parsing the autocomplete generation of arguments, and deleting and replacing them with my own. This issue needs to be a top priority, as it's taking minutes out of my workflow, and constantly taking me out of the flow of programming.
