Intellisense, use enter to choose

Question

I want to use Enter instead of Tab to choose from the intellisense list. (This is in VB)

From what I can se from this rather old post http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/vbide/thread/d820e657-5540-473b-b7f6-9e6fd066a5b9/ it was not possible. Has anything changed from there?

I use Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate.

Hi Mattias,

Based on my knowledge, It is impossible, but you can submit your suggestion to your suggestions to Microsoft Connect feedback portal http://connect.microsoft.com, Microsoft engineers will evaluate them seriously, thanks.

In additon, this is a VB IDE issue , it is a subset of the VS IDE, so I think it will better in the Visual Basic IDE forum .

Thank you for your understanding!

Hi Mattias,

Thanks for your post.

I’m afraid that your goal is still not supported by VS2010. In my opinion, the Enter is more frequently used as a key for changing a line. And if it can be set as Intellisense, it will be confused. So in general, we use the Space or Tab which is less frequently used key to deal with it.

By the way, you also can follow lucy’s suggestion, to submit your suggestion to the correct website.

Hope this helps.

I always use Ctrl+Enter. Maybe that's an acceptable compromise.
