1.) When completing '#include', offer <> as well as "".
2.) Supposing I declare

void Foo( int x );

When I type "Foo(" I get the prompt "{ int x }". Cool! But I usually put a space after the '(', and when I type this, I lose the prompt for ever. Otherwise, I have to accept the completion and navigate back to add the space.

Either:

keep the prompt active till non-space is entered

or

have CTRL-space bring the prompt back.

It does?!?

When I type #in, the popup offers me:
#include "-?"
#include <-?>
cause that's the way it is entered in the default template-file:
#in:
#include "-?"
#in:
#include <-?>


Or did I misunderstand you?

My template says


#in:
#include "-?"
#ins:
#include <-?>


Note "ins", not "inc"

That's strange.

It should look like this (everything else not beginning with # is stripped out):

#u:
#undef 
#p:
#pragma 
#in:
#include "-?"
#in:
#include <-?>
#im:
#import "-?"
#im:
#import <-?>
#if:
#ifdef -?
#endif
#ifn:
#ifndef -?
#endif
#el:
#else
#eli:
#elif 
#en:
#endif

where -? marks the caret-position after inserting the codebit.
You can edit these Templates to fit your needs either within Visual Assist (Options->Autotext/Templates->C++/VB/HTML/Whatever) or in the /Templates folder of your Visual Assist X Installation-Folder (typically C:\\Program Files\\Visual Assist\\Templates).
Note that these "square" chars are needed for VAX to recognize the end of a template-codebit (marked "FF" in the Visual Assist Options Template-Editor).
It is okay to have several equal "Triggers", like above with #in:
VAX will then show more than just one Template-Codebit and lets you decide which one you want/need.

We have a small discussion running here which shows what is possible with Autotext/Code-Templates.

Which version are you using, oxymoron? And have you upgraded versions without upgrading your templates? I have some memory that it used to work like your example.
