Intellisense + Capital Letters

[josefpihrt]

Version Used: Visual Studio 2017 RC 15.0.0-RC4+26206.0

• Currently, when I type CR, a method with name C...R... is selected only if there is no method with name Cr...

• I would propose that if I type CR and there is a method with name C...R..., it should take precedence over a method with name Cr...

How do people feel about changing match preferences in cases like this?

[CyrusNajmabadi]

Basically, an exact case-sensitive, CamelCase match would beat out case-insensitive other matches. I think that's ok. If the filter text contains capital letters, that's a strong signal this is what the usre wants. I think we could safely take this.

👍 ran into this today...wanted to do DateTime.Now.AD to filter to AddDays() but it kept just preselecting Add(). As long as we make it case-sensitive, this should be fine.

I"m also in favor of this. Sounds like a good tweak to me.

I realized that name can also start with two upper-case letters (interface name). So I would say that priority should go like this:

1. AB...
2. A...B...
3. Ab...

Also see #16053 for discussion and the current behavior.

This would address the same issue as tn case mentioned there. Not the MF case though.
EDIT: the tn case there is exact match

I would propose to take camel-cased identifiers into consideration. This could improve developer
productivity when typing local variable name (or parameter name).

A simple rule could be applied:

1. aB...
2. a...B...

Current behavior:

How about this one, happens if you have added using System.ComponentModel; :

ArgumentNullException is a better match, and also happens to be exactly what I wanted.

PLEASE make intellisense case-aware.
When I type myV it should select myValue instead of MyValue.
When I type Myv it should select MyValue instead of myValue.

Here's the kicker: When a user bothers to use the shift key to capitalize a letter, they want the variable or member that HAS that letter capitalized.
I'd die of joy if you guys can make this happen. PLEASE.

@rchande , I have no idea how I managed "unassign" you above ... hopefully you can fix that, sorry.
