Although the answer by Alex Myers is helps, its not 100% right. Unity Snippets does give you some snippets, and the illusion of typeahead, it's not actually intellisense.

For true intellisense you need to:

• install dotnet on your system (https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/dotnet) and,
• install the dotnet extension for VSCode (https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode.csharp)

More information can be found here: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/dotnet

You can test you have dotnet installed by typing dotnet into the terminal within VSCode.

Note In the image below how I get a full method signature, reference counts, and the yellow hint globe. These are only available when using dotnet + extension (and not available when using the snippets)
