Customization - source editor - var - Ctrl/Space
« on: February 03, 2011, 07:07:47 pm »
In var I type

myVariable:

and then Ctrl/Space

Up comes a multitude of options - OK
So I type inte and the choice is reduced to integer, and array of
Enter and I have my variable declaration - Great

next
variable:
and then Ctrl/Space
and at the top of the list is Integer - Great - most recent to top
etc....

New application
new variable
and at the top of the list is Integer - Great - still there

Restart
new variable
Up comes a multitude of options - Integer lost in the shuffle again


You would expect that people would be continuing to work with variables that they are familiar with through restarts, so it seems to me a saved file with the custom option display order would be a useful feature.

Restart
As in restart the IDE ?
How often do you restart the IDE?

Anyway, regardless of your idea, since you wrote:

If you are writing local var declarations, you may be able to save the work entirely by using code-completion.

Have a look here:

Actually the whole side, may be of interest....
