Consider the code below. The placing of the cursor soon becomes irritating.
str1.Trim();
str2.Trim();
str3.Trim(|)
Trim() has three different implementations, and the one I use most is the one without parameters. It would be nice if VAX had some internal counters to determine which method I am most likely to use next time.
Perhaps this is already implemented on some level?
There is no current feature to do this. While the idea is interesting, I can also see some possible problems with it, mainly that it is likely to irritate people when VA gets this wrong.
We are considering the idea of moving the caret to after the function call if you type a semi-colon. Since this is not normally valid as part of the parameter list VA would know it was safe to move both the caret and the semi-colon to the end of the line.
Eclipse already does the move-caret-to-end-of-line-on-typing-';' thingie, and it's a great help. However, it also does it when you want to use string constants containing ';' (or at least the version I last used did). So this is an exception you might want to consider when treating special characters inside generated pairs of brackets.
Is this implemented?
