In Visual Assist X Options->Advanced->Listboxes there is a section titled "Selections committed with:". The selectable options are "Tab", "Enter", and "Any character not valid in a symbol".
I have the first two checked, and "Any character not valid in a symbol" is not checked. However, the space bar still commits listbox selections and this is driving me insane. Since the space bar does not satisy the criteria in the settings, I consider this a bug.
Please, please add an option for the space bar, or tell me how I can stop this maddening behaviour. |

When you type dot or arrow after a variable you are actually triggering a member listbox, not a suggestion listbox. If you do this in the IDE without VA installed you will find that the IDE accepts the current item in the listbox when you type any character not valid in a symbol.
The logic here seems to be that the listbox must be correct, so you obviously want to accept the current item.
Currently VA is doing the same thing the IDE does, for consistency. The option "Any character not valid in a symbol" only applies to suggestion listboxes, which only contain VA's best guess, and cannot be assumed to be always correct.
We are looking to change this, and to apply the listbox options to all listboxes.

Build 1727 has support for disabling the default "complete on any character not valid" behavior of C/C++ members lists. It does not have a UI element in the VA Options dialog though.
To disable the default behavior, exit all instances of Visual Studio and add a new registry value:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Whole Tomato\\Visual Assist X
string value named: MembersExpandOnAny
value: No
Changing the default behavior should only affect the C/C++ experience and is dependent upon the VA listbox "committed with any character not valid in a symbol" option being unchecked (otherwise the MembersExpandOnAny value is ignored).
Please let us know how this works out for you.
