I have come across a VA annoyance and was wondering if there is a work around. When I type 'else', VA shows the suggestion list with else highlighted. Since I always put the else on it's own line I want to start a new line but to do this I have to hit enter twice, once to accept the suggestion and a second time to start the new line. Obviously I want to be able to hit enter once. I tried to determine if I could just remove else from the list of suggestions but it does not appear to be an option. Maybe an option could be added to remove all language keywords from the suggestion list. I personally don't need VA to help my type language keywords.
What do you think? |

A partial answer to this, I have and use VA Snippets for "if", "else" and "for" to actually insert the keyword and useful brackets all in one go for me. |

I'm lazy enough that I love VA but those people that don't even want to type if else and for... ! |

You might also consider adding a snippet with a shortcut of something like 'el' with a snippet body that has 'else' plus a carriage return.
In use, you would type "el<tab or enter>" and it would insert else along with your extra line.
Funnily enough, the language keywords appear in the lists due multiple user requests. |

Unfortunately that may a little heavy handed.
So my request is to be able to tell VA not to include language keywords in the suggestion list. How many of us need help typing the language keywords? |

Normally the listbox will disappear if you type the whole type or symbol name AND there are no other items in the listbox that you may want to select. But if you prefer, you can ask VA to close listboxes when you type the whole type or symbol name (i.e. else):
