Complete Word

A long while back I included the "Complete Word" shortcut:

Ctrl-Space

in my coding practice, avoiding the tricks I had developed to prompt the visual studio intellisense back into giving me suggestions for word completion.

This saves a lot of "micro-time" and improves flow.

Parameter Info

Another time when I found myself coaching intellisense is when looking at the parameter info. This would be achieved, e.g. by re-typing a comma or the opening ( of a method call.

On Friday I realised there had to be a keyboard short-cut, tonight I hunted, and found the treasure:

Ctrl-Shift-Space

Ahhh, the joy!
