VSCode 1.51 (Oct. 2020) will make those choices more visible with:

It makes toggling details simpler, and shows if a completion supports inserting, replacing, or both.

In the sample above, selecting "Insert" results in Math.floorceil and selecting "Replace" results in Math.floor.

The new editor.suggest.insertMode setting allows you to configure whether you prefer insert or replace.
When a suggestion supports both, your preference will be the default.

Note that you also have the setting editor.tabCompletion to force "replace" to be the default, instead of "insert".

You can add the snippet below to your keyboard shortcut configuration to the VS Code to accept a suggestion and insert the dot when pressing .

{ "key": ".", "command": "^acceptSelectedSuggestion", "when": "editorTextFocus && suggestWidgetVisible && suggestionSupportsAcceptOnKey && editorLangId == 'javascript'" }

This worked.
