I would except that if I add a new function in the header, and then I use VAX | Create Implementation, it should put it in the cpp right below the function it's below in the header. Sometimes it does this. But most of the time it throws it at the bottom...
Is there any change you guys could fix this?
Thanks

When this goes wrong, if you undo the refactoring, and then run Create Implementation again, do you get the same wrong placement in the cpp file? I am wondering if this is random or always happening.
Assuming this is reliable, can you please try turning Off:
VA Options -> Code Generation -> Maintain order in header and source files for generated C/C++ implementations
and accepting this change, then see where the implementation is placed. Then try turning this setting on again and again see where the implementation is placed.
I just want to make sure that VA is obeying this setting, at least some of the time. If it is, it suggests there is something in the layout of the header / cpp file pair that is confusing us. |

ah i found it. the "final" keywords breaks this vax feature.
MyClass.h:
class MyClass final
{
void foo();
void middle();
void moo();
};
MyClass.cpp:
#include "MyClass.h"
void MyClass::foo()
{
}
void MyClass::moo()
{
}
void MyClass::middle()
{
}
(if i remove the final keyword, middle() is generated in the correct spot) |

Ah, thank you for this, I am seeing the same result here. That was really rather easy to reproduce, once you know what the trigger is. I have put in a bug report for this:
case=142183
for now, if you don't already know, you can use drag and drop, or cut and paste, in VA Outline to help you quickly and easily re-order functions in your files:

| oh i didn't know that. can i do that with the keyboard? i try to avoid the mouse when i can, since it's slow. would be great to be able to bind a hotkey to MoveImplementaionUpInCppFile or something like that. |

In the IDE options dialog:
IDE tools menu -> Options -> Environment -> Keyboard
you can map a keyboard shortcut to the command:
VAssistX.VAOutline
which will show VA Outline and place keyboard focus into the outline. You can now move to the function / item you want to move, use CTRL-X to cut it, and then CTRL-V to paste it into the new position you want for it in the file. Since VA Outline allows you to select and move more than one item at a time, this is actually more powerful and flexible, just not quite so direct.
If you are interested the full list of available keyboard shortcuts is given here:

| thanks! however, i was hoping for a shortcut to move the implementation without having to open other windows... the window input focus behavior in VS has been really bad for the past decade or so. |

Are you seeing specific problems with window focus? When I bounce around through a lot of different windows I can sometimes just have to hit Escape once or twice to get focus back to where I want it. So I am wondering if you are seeing any problem specific to VA's windows and focus.
Outside of that though, the only problem I am really aware of running into is that autohide tool windows stay open if they opened "under" the mouse cursor. Makes sense for a mouse focused user, but less sense for a keyboard focused user. |

i'm talking about "hit Escape once or twice to get focus back to where I want it". i don't see how that's a good experience to be honest.
also, many times when i ctrl+tab to another source file and press ctrl+f and start typing into the find window, a second later, visual studio puts the focus onto the source window and half my input gets thrown into the source code. it's like they implemented it on a timer. though maybe it's visual assist's fault? not really sure |

I end up pressing Escape a lot simply because I am always in and out of tool windows, dialogs, solutions, etc, so I am not a typical user at all.
So far I cannot reproduce this focus on Ctrl-Tab followed by Ctrl-F in VS2019 with or without VA installed. Have you tried disabling VA to see if this makes any obvious difference? At a first test the menu item:
VAssistX -> Enable/Disable Visual Assist X
should help.
Do you get this problem in all files, or only some files? Perhaps large, or complex, or language dependent? |

| I don't have a current estimate, but we are aiming to get this bug fixed in the next few builds, so hopefully not to long now. |

| Unfortunately no progress on this yet, but yes, still very much on the radar. We are hoping to get this addressed in the next few builds, but it is not always easy to decide where to focus limited resources for each build. |

Create Implementation usually wrong spot
