[godgnidoc]

Environment

• OS and version: Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS
• VS Code: 1.87.0
• C/C++ extension: v1.19.5
• OS and version of remote machine (if applicable):
• GDB / LLDB version: 12.1

Bug Summary and Steps to Reproduce

Bug Summary:

Since I set the setting editor.suggest.showSnippets=false, I cannot find following items in the hint box:

• C/C++: (gdb) Attach
• C/C++: (gdb) Launch
• C/C++: (gdb) Pipe Attach
• C/C++ (gdb) Pipe Launch

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a workspace with some cpp source file.
2. Open one of them, hit the hot key f5 to try to start debug.
3. There's no launch.json, follow the instruction to create one, and open the editor for it.
4. Hit "Add Configuration..." button on the bottom right corner.
5. Look for items listed above, none of then appears.

@godgnidoc We have a fix pending at #12080, but you can also work around this via using

    "editor.suggest.showSnippets": false,
    "[jsonc]": {
        "editor.suggest.showSnippets": true
    }

which will enable snippets for the launch.json file.
