Is there any way to delay the fade-in time for intellisense in Visual Studio?

Question

I just switched to VS2008, and intellisense is even more 'helpful' there than in 2005.

I'm finding it to really break my concentration having it pop up every time I reach the end of a token or key word or whatever. I have to hit ESC or ignore it and it's really annoying.

I've not been able to find a setting to delay its activation. I do want it, so can't just cripple it, but I'd like it to wait for a second or two pause in my typing to activate.

Anyone know if there is such an option somewhere in Visual Studio?

Answer 1

I don't know if such option exists, but why don't you disable it and use Ctrl+Space and Ctrl+J when needed?

Answer 2

You might want to take a look a this forum post about Recommended Settings for intellisense. Though it seems as of Visual Studio 2005, IntelliSense is now activated by default when the user begins to type, instead of requiring marker characters.

Hope this helps some.
