Autocomplete : in the end of line such as def, for

[solzard]

I always use PyCharm, Jetbrain's Python IDE, and try to make my newly-installed VSCode similar to that one.

VSCode is much lighter and faster, but one thing VSCode annoys me is it doesn't autocomplete : in the end of lines.
When writing def or for statement, PyCharm autocomplete : and moves to the indented next line using a shortcut called complete current statement.
VSCode lacks :, so I have to go back and type it manually.

As I've googled so far, it seems there's no config or extension for this.
Is such a feature supported in VSCode?

# ←: current cursor before using the shortcut
def main(←)

# PyCharm
def main():
    [move to here]

# VSCode
def main()
    [move to here & lack a colon]

We don't have that sort of auto-complete, but you could create a snippet for yourself for def and for which included the colon.

I want to make a feature request for this. I believe auto-completing : to for, def, if, while, try, with, and class (perhaps some more) will definitely increase productivity.
