I want to completely disable sorting in the drop down boxes you get with CTRL+SPACE. I can disable sorting on the "context" and "definition" fields at the bottom of the window, but can't seem to stop it from sorting the drop down for CTRL+SPACE. This is becoming very annoying, as I'm using a lot of state machines, so need to constantly refer to the header file to see what the previous/next/etc state is as VAssist sorting makes the list it provides useless.
Also, when I just enter part of a symbol (eg. SS_) it shows a list like this:
and then I have to press CTRL+SPACE to get a list like this:
How do I get the full list, as shown in the second picture to start with? (And why is just showing question marks?) |

the first screen shot shows VA's suggestion listbox
http://66.150.196.105/products/features/suggestion.html?more=yes
these are VA's best guesses at what you are typing. i suspect they are ordered best guess first, with the assigned probability decreasing as you go down the list. use CTRL-SPACE to go from the suggestion list to a completion list, the second screen shot.
you can turn off suggestion lists in VA's options, text editor -> suggestions
i don't know of any way to turn off sorting, this has never come up before. have you tried splitting the editor window, so that you can view the header and the source code at the same time? by the sounds of it a vertical split with a thin window for the header may be very useful for what you are doing. |

| Thanks for your reply. Is there no way of getting the second list box as I type, rather than having to press CTRL+SPACE? I would much rather have a list of all items starting with what I've typed, then just the most recently used ones. |

not currently. the reason is that for most (nearly all?) users, most of the time the suggestion listboxes (question marks) are much more helpful than the full lists.
i have put in a request for this feature in some future version.
