Visual Studio 2010 Intellisense annoyances

Question

In VS2010 when my intellisense (for C#) pops up the first selected item is not highlighted. This means i have to press down/up-arrow before i press dot/enter/parenthesis to get the full word.

This only happens with the new intellisense (the one that searches everywhere and not only in the beginning).

Also, how do i switch between the old and new intellisense? This seems to happen automatically sometimes so i guess there's some hotkey i keep pressing all the time without knowing.

Answer 1

You can go to Edit -> IntelliSense -> Toggle Completion Mode. I thought there was a keyboard shortcut for it, but it appears not on my current installation... that may be a side-effect of installing ReSharper though. You can always set a shortcut if you want one, of course.
