tommie	Posted - Feb 18 2020 : 04:40:11 AM After I type the following lines of code: template< typename T > std::pair<T Visual Assist autocompletes the capital 'T' to the 'typename' keyword, so that I end up with: template< typename T > std::pair<typename, which is obviously wrong. Is there any way to disable this? I already unchecked all sub-tick-boxes under "Enable suggestion lists", but only disabling "Enable suggestion lists" altogether makes the issue go away. I'm using Visual Studio 2019.

feline	Posted - Mar 09 2020 : 10:05:42 AM No problems with the slow reply, there are always things to be done. Agreed, it would be more helpful if VA suggested the template parameter, which is something we are aware of: case=8462 For the listbox being accepted on typing, I am finding slightly different settings required in different versions of the IDE. In VS2015 and VS2017, turning On: VA Options -> Suggestions -> Enable Suggestion Lists even if you don't enable any of the other settings should be enough to fix the problem. For VS2019 turning Off VA Options -> Suggestions -> Show only suggestions in completion lists = OFF should help.
tommie	Posted - Mar 04 2020 : 10:26:42 AM My apologies for the slow reply! I tried your suggestions, with the following results: VA Options -> Suggestions -> Enable Suggestion Lists <-- problem goes away (but no autocompletion) VA Options -> Suggestions -> Show only suggestions in completion lists <-- problem remains VA Options -> Suggestions -> Suggestion and Completion lists -> Enable in C++ <-- problem goes away (but no autocompletion) VA Options -> Enhanced Listboxes -> Commit selection with - Additional characters <-- no autocompletion, but wrong suggestion remains These results are as expected, the problem is only omitted if autocomplete features are turned off all together. The basic issue seems to be that the suggestion is wrong, and that the template name 'T' itself doesn't come up as a valid suggestion. The latter is also true if I change it to something longer: template< typename LongParameterName > std::pair<LongParam <- the word 'LongParameterName' never comes up as a suggestion So the real solution might be to somehow include template parameters in the suggestions.
feline	Posted - Feb 18 2020 : 07:46:45 AM Can you please try Enabling the following options: VA Options -> Suggestions -> Enable Suggestion Lists VA Options -> Suggestions -> Show only suggestions in completion lists VA Options -> Suggestions -> Suggestion and Completion lists Enable in C++ and see what effect this has? If you are still seeing the problem, can you please look and see if you have: VA Options -> Enhanced Listboxes -> Commit selection with - Additional characters turned On or Off, and if this is turned On, try turning it Off? I think this is covered by: case=83212 but it seems to only happen with specific combinations of settings and certain code.
