Hi.
I tried to remap Ctrl+Space (Edit.CompleteWord) in Visual Studio 2026 to another shortcut and I think I discovered a bug in Visual Assist.
It seems Visual Assist forces Ctrl+Space for the VA suggestion list (may be hardcoded somewhere with GetKeyState(VK_CONTROL)), until I completely disable VA.
So with VA enabled, i can't print space with Ctrl+Space, even if turn off suggestions in VA options, just nothing happens.
Perhaps this should be configurable in the VAssistX.ToggleSuggestions command, but if assigning a keyboard shortcut to it - doesn't do anything. And when i assign Ctrl+Space to VAssistX.ToggleSuggestions in Visual Studio, it may hang when you press it. |

I believe the keyboard shortcut VAssistX.ToggleSuggestions should be turning On and Off VA suggestions, so its a keyboard shortcut for a setting, not for doing something active in the editor.
There is certainly something interesting happening here. If I remove the CTRL+SPACE keyboard shortcut, then as you say, something is still happening when I press it, but only if VA is active.
Are you trying to use CTRL+SPACE for something else? Or do you just prefer using SHIFT+SPACE in addition? Just wondering if having VA picking up an unused keyboard shortcut is an issue for you or not. There is a difference between a keyboard shortcut you don't use producing a listbox, and a keyboard shortcut you are trying to use doing something else as well after all  |
