Upon hovering over a variable declared auto the deduced type is displayed as a tooltip. This is great. What would would be awesome is a way to change the auto keyword to the actual deduced type. Perhaps you could overload the "Create From Usage" feature to do this?
We are considering adding this ability at some point:
case=79735
out of interest, why do you want to do this?
I am only allowed to use auto at my work when the type is not important. For example loop iterators. When writing my code I often don't want to type out the type name so I just use auto purely out of convenience. However before i commit I have to go back and replace auto with the type. This would allow me to easily do that.
That makes sense, thank you, I can see how this would help in a situation like this. We have had someone else report basically the same situation and make the same request.
Replace 'auto' with actual type
