Is there a keyboard shortcut to view the different versions of, in this case, the spriteBatch constructor? If not, I am requesting this feature.

Yes there is, but not while the listbox has appeared and has focus. If you press Escape to clear the listbox, and press Alt-Shift-Space, you should get a tooltip that lists the overloads. Press the Up and Down arrow keys to scroll through the overloads.

This isn't working. Which VAssistX. command should it be, in the Tools->Customize->Keyboard list?

Can you please try triggering the menu:

IDE Edit menu -> IntelliSense -> Parameter Info

and see what happens? The keyboard shortcut is mapped to the command "Edit.ParameterInfo".

You do need the caret between the brackets before triggering this command. Since you do have a tooltip in your screen shot, I would expect this to work.

It is bound to Ctrl-Shift-Space here (I didn't change it).

Experimenting with it, I've seen it work exactly once (kindof, still corrupted). Usually, it displays the same *BROKEN* thing VA displays anyway.

PLEASE WT, spend your time fixing your actual, real functionality, fixing the bugs that feel like they've been around since 9/11, before you blow your man hours on fluff like #hashtags ("send a tweet straight from your code!")



After paren: (Note to VA: there are 2, not 3, ctors. Doesn't matter anyway, the window disappears when you click it).


The yawning silence after Ctrl-Shift-Space:


VS2013
VA 2094 (== $80 blown)
Intellisense disabled.

There is something strange going on here. This is clearly a simple example, and I am not sure why it is failing.

I am seeing this problem on one test system, but not on another test system, which is not helpful. Clearly there is a problem here, but I am not sure the trigger is just in the sample code.

Are you still working with intellisense disabled, or have you now enabled it? You mentioned enabling it in one of your other threads. If you are now working with it enabled, is this making any difference to this problem?

With intellisense, this seems to work correctly.
