When typing n I get a suggestion list in the following order:
n, namespace, new, ...
Where n is a global debug-variable from a file in a different project.

I suppose it's good that VA prioritize local variables, but shouldn't the priority decrease over time if you never ever select a particular entry? I've never selected n, I almost always select either namespace or new. This has been going on for months.

In this particular case the variable is not even accessible, but that's another issue I guess.

On second thought, it seems rather pointless to suggest one-letter words at all.

Do you have:

VA Options -> Advanced -> Suggestions -> Include bits of code from surrounding lines

turned on or off? I would expect turning this on to help a bit here, since then VA suggestions should be more likely to pick up local and recently used symbols.

The suggestions are VA's best guess, so sometimes they are brilliant, and sometimes they are not so good.

I am not quite sure what to say about single character suggestions, since they do make sense when they are VA Snippets, or in a different case. So you might type "n" but want "N".

It's turned off. I'll give that a try! Thanks
