I am seeing problems when I try to auto complete words or statements which map to VA Snippet.
For example when I start typing:
"t" or "tr" the list box pops up with suggestion of "true" selected which is good. Now if I use <TAB> and expect auto completion what I get instead of "true" is "ttrue" or "trtrue" depending upon what I had previously typed (t or tr) before I pressed <TAB>.
I have noted that I only get this problem when VASSIST indicates it is a VA Snippet, not for other completions. Also sometimes in the list box it indicates that "true" is a VA Snippet and other times not and I am at a loss to understand under what circumstances it gets confused.
Version I have is 10.5.1721
Sincerely,
Sam |

Is there any fix in sight for this issue? I just convinced my boss to extend our maintenance for VA just because I hope for a fix to this. It would be nice if it could get a little higher priority. |

Completion problem with Emacs keyboard mapping scheme is
case=20622
Unfortunately currently the only workaround is to use other scheme. |

I verified that the problem happens with Emacs bindings turned on for VS 2008. I was wondering if there was any workaround or a potential for a fix?

I am using emacs bindings in VS 2008. I knew of problems using emacs bindings in VS 2005 but see a better experience in VS 2008.
Let me test with normal/default bindings and get back to you.

What keyboard mapping scheme do you use? You can check it here:
IDE tools menu -> Options -> Environment -> Keyboard
in VS2005/2008. There are known problems with the Emacs scheme. If you use the default one, can you please export your VA and IDE settings and send them to me:
VA Options -> Performance -> Export Settings
IDE tools menu -> Import and Export Settings -> Export selected environment settings
so I can import them here to try to reproduce this problem.
Which version of Visual Studio do you use?
Does this happen if you press enter to accept the suggestion, or only when you use tab?

There is a "shortcut" for every snippet. If you type exactly this snippet, you will always get it by default. For true, this shortcut is "t", so you should always get true snippet if you type only "t". You can check snippet shortcuts here:
VA Options -> Advanced -> Suggestions -> Edit VA Snippets (button) |
