Here's something I would like to see in the upcoming versions.

1. Commands for autotext, e.g.
#ifndef:
#ifndef %TOUPPER(%FILE_BASE%_%FILE_EXT%_)%
#define %TOUPPER(%FILE_BASE%_%FILE_EXT%_)%
-?
#endif

Maybe you can come up with more than the one I had in mind (TOUPPER, TOLOWER, SUBSTR...)

2. "variable-replace", dunno what else to call it.
Anyway, in borland there's a feature which allows you to change the name of a variable then it automatically change the name of every occurance of that variable (in it's scope?).

3. Header/cpp-syncronization
Wouldn't it be wonderful if we didn't have to change the function-headers in the header if we edited the header in the cpp (and vice-versa)?

I'm not sure how difficult it is to implement these features but you guys seems to be skilled. Thank you for a wonderful VS plugin!

1. We might consider implementing %FILE_BASE_UPPER%, etc
2. We would like a global replace-by-context -- it is just very difficult to implement in C/C++.
3. Many people ask for synchronization. Also difficult to get right in C/C++.

You make a decent case for programming in C#

As for #3, yes, I am for it. I could also imagine a popup menu when there are multiple occurances of the definition, where i can choose which (or all) to update. Of course that works only limited the other way round - modify the definition and update the implementation, this would lead to errors in most cases.
