Describe your issue
When I make a plugin creating variants with the same names as built-in ones (my intention is to replace the built-in ones with me own—I'll explain why in a moment) the custom variant doesn't always seem to always hide the built-in one in the IDE suggestions. This can be seen even in the playground.
My use case is to replace all built-in hover-related variants. To avoid hover styles from being applied when tapping on touch-enabled devices, I run a tiny custom utility script which watches mouse and touch events and adds a .hover
class to the root <html>
element only when the user seems to be using a mouse.
So then, when using the hover:
variant, what I need is html.hover &:hover
instead of the default &:hover
.
As you can see at the playground link above, I add this plugin to my config:
plugin(({ addVariant }) => {
addVariant("hover", "html.hover &:hover");
addVariant("peer-hover", "html.hover .peer:hover ~ &");
addVariant("group-hover", "html.hover .group:hover &");
})
But when I actually go to use the variant, I see this strange duplication:

What's odd is that the hover:
built-in variant has been properly "replaced" with my custom one, but for the other two the built-in variants have not been removed from the list, although it seems my custom one is still be properly applied in the final CSS regardless of which option I choose from the list. Still, it'd be nice if this were a little more tidy.
