Visual studio not highlighting suggestions while typing

Question

I use visual studio with C++. When typing a word, visual studio makes suggestions, as expected, but does not always highlight them. Here is what I mean:

I type "stri", and "string" gets highlighted, and this allows me to press enter and complete the word.

Then, if I erase only part of the statement, it no longer highlights string,

And finally, most importantly, if I want to use that string elsewhere, it does not highlight the name.

In the example you can see that pressing enter goes to a new line instead of completing the word. Pressing tab would work, however it still doesn't highlight the word, which I don't like, and also I am used to pressing enter, so I would prefer not to press tab.

Answer 1

Working solution:

Go to Tools > Options > Text Editor > C/C++ > Advanced. Then find Member List Commit Aggressive. Set this to true. Then optionally find Member List Commit Characters and remove all the characters except the colon character.

This solution is almost perfect and it will work for anyone who wants to do the same thing as me.
