Hi,
First off, I love VA. I do not like using .NET or VC6 without it. One might say that I am almost dependant on it.
Just an idea, going on the assumtion that since you keep track of which scope the cursor is in, for bracket hightlighting. It would be very handy to be able to do text searches and search and replace in a given scope.
Ultra cool, but probably in the "You Know Not You Ask, So Would You Please Go Away And Bother Someone Else" catagory, would be to search / replace with in the scope of a class (Header(s) and CPP(s)).

| Many people have asked for a context-sensitive find and replace across files. The task is quite difficult for C/C++. We've looked into it many times. Nonetheless, the item is still on the wish list. |

I have looked at writting a C/C++ parser for some of the things I would like for some tools I was writing, even using Lexx/Yac type stuff it would be very very very nasty and way high on the "This is fun in much the same way as smacking your thumb with a hammer is 'fun'" scale.
Oh well. Someday someone will write a code processor (Like a word processer but code), much more than just and IDE. |

| We have found the only option is to fix or replace the language. Preprocessor directives make C/C++ unbearable to parse if you must remain at the source level. Hence, C#. |
