Autocomplete when writing new classes/modules is not very helpful

Description

Reproduction steps

When typing class/module and continuing on, ruby-lsp offers existing classes/modules as autocomplete. This is a nice idea, however I find it highly annoying in basically all cases:

Basically, I can't use enter in most of the cases here and have to either remember to press escape beforehand or undo the autocomplete after it happened.

I think, an ok solution may be to insert what was currently typed as the first suggestion. Or maybe to not offer third-party classes/modules here (but even then you will be at the innermost layer at one point which then will contain an identifier not yet indexed), most of the time you're not reopening third-party classes/modules. Not sure what the best thing to do is, I just know I'm unhappy with how it currently works.

Thank you for the report! You're right, the experience is not great when creating new classes or modules.

The team discussed this and we're slightly torn between not showing completion at all while declaring the class/module and your clever suggestion of showing the constant you're typing as a candidate.

If you're interested in contributing, we'd love to see what the experience would be like with the approach you suggested. It would be nice to also show to the user that the completion item refers to the thing they are typing at that moment and not some other declaration (maybe we can use label details for that).

Yeah, I can look into how that would work with. I'm not at all familiar with that part of the code, will have to see how that goes.
