This is a small feature, but it would be great if the selection of the types to display at the bottom of the intellisense dropdown would persist, at least during a session.
Now when one selects a specific set of functions/members to be displayed the next time the popup comes up the selection is cleared and all functions are displayed |

isn't this going to cause more problems than it solves?
personally i need to move between enum types, enum items, member variables and functions quite frequently when looking at this list. |

As there haven't been many responses it does not seem to bother people. As to causing more problems, for people that change the settings a lot it does not change much, you still need to click a lot of buttons when using the popup, on the other hand for people who need to change less often you reduce the amount of clicks you need.
So on the average the number of clicks is reduced which is usually a good thing. |

most posts get very little comment from other people *shrug* even when we ask for comments and feedback we rarely get much, if any, response.
i think my basic concern with this idea is people posting bug reports because they used the filtering once, and now they cannot see their enum's or functions, or some other type, in the completion listboxes.
i see your point about less work if you nearly always want a specific filter. i am wondering if there is some sensible compromise here, and if it brings enough benefits to a lot of users. |

We considered making the selection in the filtering toolbar sticky but found too many reasons not to do it. We think our best workaround is to provide keyboard access to the toolbar.

Why not make the selection sticky based on an option, that is set to off by default therfore not changing the way most users work. I also like the idea of having keyboard access would also be useful in addition to the sticky option.

we try very hard to avoid adding options.
in a normal program the option setting only has to be checked in a couple of places, but due to the way VA has to work, fitting in and around the IDE, and hooking in all over the place each option adds a lot of work, far more than you would expect. plus we then have to make the option work in multiple IDE's
instead we strive to have VA "just work" without needing to fiddle around with the options. |
