Hi

When editing code in text editor, VAX helps a lot with its suggestions and autocompletions. But when you invoke either VAX dialog box, its edit boxes don't have this helpful feature.

So, if you need to, e.g., change function signature from bool foo() to MySuperDuperLongTypeName foo(), this MySuperDuperLongTypeName has to be typed completely and with no mistakes to the edit box, and no one helps to the lonely programmer :(. This even gets worse when there are two such types in signature, so you can't copy-paste both their names together.

Isn't it possible to implement same kind of popup suggestion lists in all VAX edit boxes? This would really improve refactoring experience.

Thanks

I think this is a very sensible idea. I have put in a feature request to see what the developers make of it:

+1, I think this would be awesome. VA does help alot with these kinds of tasks but I don't use the VAX pretty much for the reason mentioned here, I think.
