MonoDevelop Style Code Hinting In Visual Studio
Is it possible to get MonoDevelop-style code hinting in Visual Studio's IDE? Specifically, not having to type out variables perfectly letter-by-letter, but just typing some key letters in them.
For example, in MonoDevelop typing "v3" would automatically highlight "Vector3", then hitting enter puts in Vector3. In VS, typing "v3" closes the code hinting, because no word starts exactly with "v3".
Very inhibiting, especially when you're doing lots of longer variable names ("SouthDoorTrigger1,2,3" for example. I reeeally don't want to truncate to "SDT1" or something, that's a confusing mess.)
Any help? Thanks!
Visual Studio's autocompletion is definitely a bit different from $$anonymous$$onodevelop (I much prefer VS's, to be honest). I believe you're specifically running into it being more case-sensitive. I just tried "V3" ins$$anonymous$$d of "v3" and for me, that does correctly suggest Vector3 as an autocompletion. So, maybe try matching the case?
Hi, if you are using JS then you could try Yaldex's free JS editor. I did something to $$anonymous$$e that stopped the autocompletion and never bothered to try and fix it, improved my typing speed a bit :D Can't promise anything but it is free to try if you want to.

If still syntax high lighting is not happening, then you can install C# tool manually. Press F1, and open command window. type this command. "ext install" and choose 'Extensions: Install extensions'
and then search for "ext install C#" and install all the tools indicates for C# language. 'Install C# tool says - C# support for Code (powered by omnisharp) - microsoft.' You install any package by pressing the small cloud icon at last in a row.
