Is it possible to add new predictions/autofill in Overleaf?

Question

For example, when I use the command (in Overleaf/ShareLaTex):

\begin{figure}[H]
    \centering
    \includegraphics{some_graphic}
    \caption{some_caption}
    \label{fig:some_label}
\end{figure}

the \includegraphics{} comes without the [] parameter to change the size of the image, and \begin{figure} without the [H] option by default.

Is it possible to renew the command to make it default? By that I mean that when I type the \begin{figure} command it adds the [H] and [h] as well as [width=\textwidth] in the \includegraphics command, rather than making a global change in the preamble e.g.

see https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/79974/36296 for the default image width — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Mar 12 '19 at 11:58
off-topic: I would stay away from [H] - this is basically a guarantee for bad placement of images — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Mar 12 '19 at 11:59

@samcarter I fully agree: H placement is wrong, particularly if one chooses to have all images as wide as the text width. — egreg, Mar 12 '19 at 12:07
Thank you! I have always had this habit of using [H] to place images. I will look into that. — Rune, Mar 12 '19 at 12:13
@Rune I would use [htbp] for images - this gives tex enough latitude to find the best possible position for you — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Mar 12 '19 at 12:25
What happens when you start typing \begin{figure} has nothing to do with latex, that is entirely up to whatever editor you us (and which is no information you shared with us) — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Mar 12 '19 at 12:27
@samcarter, sorry - I have just added to the question that I use Overleaf/ShareLaTex. — Rune, Mar 12 '19 at 12:36
@Rune Thanks for the clarification - I voted to reopen, however the question might be off-topic. Because you are not looking for a tex solution but how to change the behaviour of overleaf, it might be better to ask their support than posting here. — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Mar 12 '19 at 12:42
@Samcarter, Thank you, I understand. I will ask the support. I was not aware if it was Overleaf related or not. I just thought I could do some "renewcommand". — Rune, Mar 12 '19 at 12:45
@LianTze Lim The question is not about graphics, but about the autocomplete of the overleaf editor. Is it possible to change the autosuggestions? — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Mar 12 '19 at 14:19
Ah sorry, I had interpreted it as a Gin related question. No, autocompletion on Overleaf can't be customised like this at present. (So probably this question is not that relevant on tex.sx...) — imnothere, Mar 12 '19 at 14:21
@LianTzeLim I also thought about Gin at first, but after the edit the question took another direction :) — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Mar 12 '19 at 14:23
@LianTzeLim Maybe you can write a short answer that this is not possible at the moment? (I saw at least one similar (unanswered) question and if this one would have an answer, we could close the other as dupe) — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Mar 12 '19 at 14:25

At present the code autocompletion options and blocks on Overleaf aren't user-customisable; sorry about this. If you think a particular snippet is useful for LaTeX users in general, you can send your suggestions to welcome@overleaf.com, thanks.
