When I type “If” to start a If-Then-Else construct, the autocomplete pops up, which is ok, because I like to have it show up automatically.
However when I press SPACE it chooses the currently highlighted item in the autocomplete list, which is not what I want. The only thing (afaik) to avoid that is to first pressing ESC and then SPACE, but that’s a bit cumbersome.
Am I missing something here, or is this just the way it works? If that’s the case I would like to see an option to only have autocomplete select an item on TAB and/or ENTER.
That’s a big in CC, that “If” isn’t in the list there. Can I see a concrete test case?
As a general; rule of thumb: CC should always contain everything valid in the current context, and off the current context allows “unknown” identifiers (eg “Dim |”), the CC popup should be “soft”-selected and not insert on space.
Any case where this does not happen is a bug in the CC data, not the fault of “space” accepting that CC.
(That said, you can turn auto-CC off in Preferences). But the goal for CC is to always be correct and this to never happen.
Namespace Test
Public Shared Class Testing
Public Sub Test123()
If 1=1 Then
For x As Integer = 1 To 100
// Type If here
Next x
End If
End Sub
End Class
End Namespace
Also it doesn’t suggest Public/Property direct after Public Class:
Public Class Testing
// Start typing Property or Public doesn't suggest it.
End Class
