Intellisense doesn't add namespace imports

[user72356]

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

• VS Code Version: 1.65.2
• OS Version: Windows 11

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create files test.ts and bam.ts
2. Create and export an helloworld() function in bam.ts
3. Type bam in test.ts and try to get VS Code to add in a namespace import in the form: import * as bam from "./bam";

I was led to believe that this was possible by the following comment: #23830 (comment)_

This is the intended behavior - that comment only refers to unqualified module names, but "./bam" is a qualified path

What's stopping Intellisense from resolving my own modules using the filename, as a code action?

[RyanCavanaugh]

No one has suggested that it do so nor implemented it

[user72356]

Do you see this as a worthwhile suggestion that I can make? I would take the time to submit a suggestion if there is a chance.

[RyanCavanaugh]

Sure 🙂
