In Visual Studio, when the popup list is shown and you are at the top/bottom and hit up/down respectively, nothing happens. This allows a user to get to the bottom of the list by mashing the down button a bunch of times. This behavior is not correctly replicated in Visual Assist. When at the bottom of the list hitting down will exit the popup list. |

In a suggestion listbox (question mark icons) the up and down arrows do close the listbox. In a completion (CTRL-SPACE) listbox the up and down arrows behave as expected.
This is by design, since suggestion listboxes are designed to popup a lot, with VA's "best guess", so you can move out of them quite easily if they are not helping.
In contrast completion listboxes normally occur because you triggered them manually, or just typed a dot or ->, so it is reasonable for them to hold onto the cursor.
You may find turning on:
VA Options -> Advanced -> listboxes -> allow acronyms
VA Options -> Advanced -> listboxes -> allow shorthand
VA Options -> Advanced -> listboxes -> shrink when possible
helps, since typing will reduce the size of the listbox a lot, so there is less need to press up or down a lot. |
