I'd like to open the intelligence window without typing a character and then backspacing it. I can't seem to remember the shortcut for this. What is it?

thnx

+7  A: 

ctrl - space?

Also, go to Tools -> Options -> Keyboard, you can then search for commands and see what is assigned to that (and remap).

Ctrl-Space for normal Intellisense, and Ctrl-Shift-Space for parameter Intellisense (e.g. to see what overloads are available in a method call which you've actually already filled in). I find the latter very handy :)

Wow, I had no idea, thank you very much.

ctrl-shift-space is great! Thanks! I always hit cancel when the parameters appear and struggle to make them show up again.

Sara Ford's weblog has a heap of VS2008 shortcuts.

Hi!! If you have installed MSG Plus, then the problem is messenger lock keys, try to change them in msg plus and Intellisense will work again. Good Luck!
