I started getting really annoyed with the Intellisense in VS 2010. It doesn’t automatically highlight the best match for what I am typing. It seems to loosely highlight it, but hitting enter or . doesn’t act upon it.
Well, I figured out how to make it work, but requires a small change in workflow. Hit TAB. Start typing, and when the box highlights AROUND, because it doesn’t seem to select it, hit the TAB key.
Easy solution to an annoying feature. I switch between 2008 and 2010 so much I can’t remember if 2010 has always been this way, or I pissed it off.
Annoying Intellisense irritating me
Happy Coding!

Found your blog while googling how disable this feature. Googled some more and found http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/exbffbc2.aspx . Look at paragraph ‘To toggle between completion mode and suggestion mode’.

Completely agree…. coming from 2008 to 2010 this is a nightmare. What would be the purpose to highlight it “loosely” in the first place?!? This thing is ridiculous and it is annoying as hell
