First: Visual Assist is the coolest thing we ever found. We immediatly bought some licenses for our firm
But when working, i personally miss some things:
1: We have Multiple Trace Macros for our SW , looks like EE(("")); (ET, EM ... and so - depending on trace level)
So i definied some Macros with EE(("")); and so, but everytime when i press "enter" i am behind the last char ;
It would be VERY nice, if it would be possible to give a curser position to the Snipped so that i appear between the "" ?
2: think you write printf(
in this case, it will be compleated with )
but when i type " it does not compleate
So would it be possible for Special commands like printf and others, when you write them, that after you wrote them, the "" also work or simple appear initial too ?
and that when you write the text then there, and you type %s, that automatically a "," is added ?
Maybe this is not nice when typing (have no user experience with this) but i think this would be really cool |

| Why would you want a comma added after typing %s ? Often I use %s with other words around it, or things other than a comma. |

feline I think he is wanting to VA to add a ',' after the closing " for each special format in the string. So for example I write something like printf( "%s - %i (%s)" ) VA will auto insert ',' so it looks like printf( "%s - %i (%s)", , , ) |

hi - thx for the $end$ hint, i immediate started to integrate this to my VA Snippets.
One/Two other things:
In past i used Ultraedit and there is a feature there, what i really miss in VS
If you doubleclick a word (eg."test" inside int test; )
(VS is precise there)
then it was/is possible to immediate do "F3" for jumping to the next word.
This would be very cool
and when i combine this with Notepadd++ hightlight feature "hightlight identical" so that after a word gets doubleclicked (and cursor does not get moved out of the selected words - eg. scrolling, F3) that these words get highlighted like seen on post

You can find next word also in Visual Studio: if you press Ctrl+F3, it will select the word then jump to the next occurrence.
Visual Assist will highlight this (the searched) word everywhere if you have
VA Options -> Advanced -> Display -> Highlight find results
turned on and you use VAX 17xx. |

To highlight the current word without moving the caret you can bind a keyboard shortcut to the command:
VAssistX.FindSelected
I have assigned Alt+K personally.
