[quote][i]Originally posted by ycc[/i] [br]Visual Assist used to work with non-C++ files like JavaScript and even custom text files (so that we can use the VA clipboard with ctrl-shift-V). Somehow in a version upgrade this functionality got removed by default (seems like only for newer versions of Visual Studio), and we have to get the old settings back by using regedit and change RestrictVaToPrimaryFileTypes and RestrictVaListboxesToC/C++ to 0. This seems really backward to me, removing an existing functionality and forcing users to edit registry to get it back. Is there a reason for the change? I have been using Visual Assist with JavaScript files and it actually works pretty well. I have submitted feature requests on add more JS support and they were implemented as well i.e. there were actual work done on it. I know it's not officially supported but I think it would be really nice to have this exposed in a GUI, as not everyone is comfortable editing their own registry. Provided the tool doesn't crash or do something horrendous what's wrong with exposing this option? Side note: it's a testament how good this tool is that even non-officially supported languages (e.g. JavaScript) still work better than a lot of other IDEs!
