What happened?

I have encountered strange behavior with auto-inserting unwanted parentheses around WDIO methods in VSCode.

Perhaps this is due to the way VSCode interprets types and doesn't recognize that this methods can be chained.
Or could it be a bug in the WDIO types?

Maybe someone has encountered such behavior and can give advice or a solution.

What is your expected behavior?

@k03mad thanks for raising the issue. This is a know problem. I had some ideas how we might be able to resolve this for v9.

@k03mad if it helps I disabled these settings in VSCode and it's better than having to remove the brackets every time

Wait... But the first option disables the suggestions entirely :)
The second disabled option alone doesn't work to prevent extra parentheses.
