When typing capitals, the suggestion list should suppress items which do not match the capital part.
VAX annoyed me just now when I tried to type FILETIME and after typing FILE it still insisted to suggest "FileTimeToSystemTime" and "FileTimeToLocalTime".  |

| I agree, capitals are usually being written intentionally and it should be respected. |

| I'm not sure about this. Most of the time it would probably be an improvement, but sometimes I get confused about the case I (or other programmers) used. Is it LogFile or Logfile, for example? If I type LogFile, I would still like to be offered Logfile. |

initially this sounds good, but Stephen is correct, when you aren't sure about the correct case of the word you are typing...
Uniwares, your example is all caps. personally i use a mix of capitals and underscores for #define's and enums. how about checking case if the symbol is all upper case and underscores so far?
so PATH_ would get the small suggestion list, while path_ and Path_ would get the same longer completion list. |

| Stephen, if you are unsure, you could just type logfile, to get all the completions, like LogFile, Logfile, logFile. Just when typing Log you would only get Logfile and LogFile. |

| I understand that, but I might think it was LogFile, type LogF, and get nothing. Generally I'd rather get false positives in the list than false negatives. |

I'm with Stephen - false positives are better than false negatives in this case...

Personally I'd really prefer to have capitals treated as significant. More often than not, I'm typing API struct names which are all caps, than trying to figure out what the name of function is that someone else wrote.
And for these rare cases, one can still Ctrl+Space to get the full list. |

| hence my suggestion for treating words all in caps differently, as Uniwares would like. how does this sound to other people? |

| I would be happy with all caps only matching words which start with all caps. |

I would like this as well. I am used to type in the correct case anyway. If you think there is a significant number of people who are used to work case insensitive, perhaps adding an option for case sensitivity could help.

Here is a common piece of code.....
LRESULT ToolTipWrapper::DefWindowProc(UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam){
return CWnd::DefWindowProc( w ); // when typing w, VA X knows that wParam is much more likely to be typed, as opposed to WPARAM;
}
Build 1240 will fix a bug where if the suggestion list contained WPARAM and wParam, typing "w" would suggest "wParam" and typing "wp" switch to "WPARAM".
This should help everyone. |
