We (probably) all know the function which automagically turns a . into a ->. Sometimes I long to the opposite behaviour, when I type -> by accident it should be converted into a ..
Does the fine team of Whole Tomato think this would be possible? Thank you kindly in advance.
I agree, it would be helpful. Because of VA X I often don't remember if the variable is a pointer or a reference, and usualy type just ".", hoping to be converted to "->" when necessary. But because converting doesn't always work, especially for nested smart pointers, I have to type "->", then sometimes it happens to type it for a reference and it would be nice to see it converted to "." without waiting for compile errors. It's quite annoying when the wrong "->" has been copied to several lines before compiling.
