Dear VAX Team!
I have two major problems with the VAX 1539.
[THIS PROBLEM IS RESOLVED BY MEANS OF VS IDE MACROS]
1) Problem with Alt+M list.
--------------------------------------
I have keyboard shortcut that maps "Esc" button to Build.Compile.
When I select some function from Alt+M list, and press Enter, the source code is navigated to this function's location, and the source file gets compiled. As if going to this function generates "Esc" keystroke. I guess, this wasn't a problem before VAX 1535, and now it's very annoying. Please, remove this "Esc" invokation.
[THIS PROBLEM IS RESOLVED BY MEANS OF WINDOWS REGISTRY]
2) Auto-select in suggestion listbox.
--------------------------------------
Say, I need to type:
int const& a;
I have an autotext shortcut that maps 'cr' to "const&".
Then I type "int cr", the autotext suggestion list box appears and suggests me "const&". But I can't just press Enter to select the suggested value, but have to do: Down + Enter. This is my problem.
I know that present behaviour is intentional. But I beg you to make an option(checkbox), that would allow me to redefine default behaviour and have suggestions auto-selected, while defining the symbol.
Thank you!

Right on. Thanks for the help! |

You have to add the key if it does not exists, and replace VANet8 with VANet7 |

For problem #2 mentioned in the first post, I have looked at the registry and cannot find that key.
VAX 1539
VS 7
I checked all of the keys under WholeTomato (including VANet and VANet7.0) and cannot find it. Is there something I'm missing? |

You mean how do I live without conventional Esc? No problem here: for those rare cases, like that one you described, I have assigned Ctrl+Home to Edit.SelectionCancel.
Fortunately, I resolved the issue with Esc virtual keystroke via macros: when pressed Alt+M, I set global flag that I am in methods list, and when pressed Esc, before going to Build.Compile I check if this flag is cleared.

HKCU \\ Software \\ Whole Tomato \\ Visual Assist X \\ VANet8 \\ SuggestionSelect = 2
Replacing VANet8 with the correct string for the IDE. When this is 1 you get the default behaviour where suggestions are only selected some of the time. When this is set to 2 then suggestions are always selected.
Beatiful solution! I could not imagine this will be resolved so easy.
Thank you! |
