The new VAX build does not let me "find symbol" any more.
I am using VAX on VS 2005.
I am missing the checkboxes "only symobls in this solution" and "only class names" in the dialog.

I had to go back to the previous build to use this vital function again.

A known bug?

Just discovered: there is a Settings-Button in the top right corner.

But: this would require me to grab the mouse in order to see an switch the settings.
So far I simply could toggle the settings using the alt+shortcut keys.
Alt+S and Alt+C were my frequent tools in using this dialog.

It would be a major drawback, not to be able to use the old workflow.

I am seeing the same problem here, so I have put in a feature request to allow these settings to be changed more easily with the keyboard:

case=166007

If you really want you can use the Tab key to move focus to the settings button, and then use Space to open the settings menu. Now you have to use Enter to select and change one of the settings. Really not the same, I agree.

We have fairly new reports that track which cases people care about, but those only check emails that came into [email protected], not forum posts. So you might want to email this report to support as well, so it will get more visibility.

Thanks for the hint regarding the email adress.

And thanks for your practical help, how to achieve a mouseless operation.
But as you say, it is "not the same":

VA is all about making work smooth, fluent, fast.
Every details in handling counts, so this kind of "downgrade" is really hurting the principles.
