Actual Behavior

When using the autocomplete hint in the editor and selecting a function suggestion (e.g. preload), pressing Enter or Tab only inserts the function name without the parentheses (). The expected behavior would be to insert the full signature like preload().

Expected Behavior

The autocomplete should insert the complete function with brackets — preload()

Steps to reproduce

Steps:

1. Open the editor
2. Type function preload
3. Wait for the autocomplete hint to appear
4. Press Enter to accept the suggestion

Hi! I looked into this the completion objects in contextAwareHinter.js are missing an apply field. In CodeMirror 6, accepting a completion inserts the label by default (e.g. preload), while the preview field (e.g. preload()) is only used for ghost text. Adding apply: hint.preview for function completions in buildGlobalHintOption, buildMethodOption, and buildVarOrFunctionOption should fix this. Happy to submit a PR if available!

Good idea, I think it makes sense to propose a minimal implementation of this in a PR. This sounds like something that could be quite isolated, so if that's possible, please feel free to work on this. @Jatin24062005 did you want to work on this? If not then it can go to @Nixxx19 .

If Pr can include an "after" screenshot or video for documentation as well as tests if possible, that would be wonderful.

(I relabeled as a feature request as the current function is not "broken" exactly, but can be improved).
