I'm not sure if this would fit in the scope of VAX, but it's certainly a good feature to have. The Visual Studio team just added this to C# recently and I'm not sure if or when they're planning on doing it for C++. There's a thread (https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/C-IntelliSense-inline-parameter-name-h/1130438) for adding it to IntelliSense, however, I'd say most of us completely disable it. (VAX <3)

My question is would this be an acceptable feature request for VAX?

It is an idea we are considering:

case=141699

the IDE doesn't always make it easy for us to insert "text" into the editor that changes where the code you are editing sits, but knowing there is interest in the idea is always important and helps.

Any update on this? Me and the rest of the programmers in my company would really like this feature.

No progress yet, but this is still on the list of features we are considering adding to VA.

It's not quite the same, but if you are considering a specific function call and are mouse focussed, hover the mouse pointer over the function name.

If you are keyboard focussed, place the caret into the function name, and VA will show you the signatures it knows in its context and definition fields. These are normally shown at the top of the editor window, and are where the Alt-M list appears from.

Another option is to place the keyboard caret into the parameter list and use Ctrl+Shift+Space to bring up the parameter list tooltip.
