VSCode all autocomplete

Can VSCode's Intellisense/autocomplete be configured to work across all open files similar to Sublime's All Autocomplete plugin? Is there an extension that supports this?

Specifically, I am looking to get basic function and variable name autocompletion to work across C, C++, Matlab, and Python source files.

No, this is not possible. All actions in VS code are strictly limited to the document, which is passed in to the various APIs an extension has to implement.

I can imagine a hack, however, where you store code completion info persistently (in vscode settings, external file etc.), once you have collected them for a document and use that persistance layer to load all the info from there. This is however not very dynamic and requires that a file has been scanned for code completion info at least once (i.e. it was open in vscode and active at least once).
