I am using VS 2010. When working in C# or C++ VA pops up a useful list of surrounding symbols when I press Ctrl+Space inside a // or /* */ style comment block.

Is it possible to extend this to do the same inside /// style XML Doc blocks?

Another useful addition would be to have better intellisense for XML Doc tags. I think it's a VS feature that shows a list of possible XML Doc tags from Ctrl+Space but it's a bit limited.

For example I can select the <list> tag from the intellisense list it writes the following for me:

<list type=""

The caret is positioned between the " characters. There is no helpful list of possible attribute values available for the type attribute so of we go to the help system to find out .... 5 minutes later ... carry on with a task that should have taken 30 seconds.

Unfortunately the listboxes not appearing on CTRL-SPACE in XML comments is a known problem:

case=48252

For help constructing the XML comments, you can use VA Snippets inside comments. VA Snippet shortcuts starting with "/" or "@" are active inside comment blocks.
