Papercut: Bump Caps in VSCodium

A large portion of my game is written in TypeScript. For these portions of the game, I often use VSCodium to write it. However, there’s one aspect of auto-completion that is not working very well, and that is… bump-caps.

For some reason I can’t find any references of it by this name though I have a strong association of this feature with that name in my mind, but the idea of bump-caps is that when you’ve typed an upper-case letter, any candidate must also have an upper-case letter there. For example, ArrayList would be an OK candidate for AL, but Arraylist would be unacceptable because it does not have an upper-case L.
